  • Title: Transfusion-transmitted cytomegalovirus infection.
    Author: Bowden RA.
    Journal: Hematol Oncol Clin North Am; 1995 Feb; 9(1):155-66. PubMed ID: 7737939.
    Abstract:
    Transfusion-associated cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised seronegative patients. Seronegative blood products reduce the incidence of infection to less than 7%. Filtered blood may be an effective alternative to seronegative blood products for prevention of transfusion-associated CMV infection. The clinical significance of second strain CMV infection remains undefined.
