Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Successful pre-emptive therapy in transplant patients depends on the availability of reliable diagnostic tests for CMV infections. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate CMV DNA viral load, incidence of CMV disease and CMV seropositivity, risk factors and correlation between CMV DNA positivity and clinical course in HSCT patients.
