Solano et al. Analogous to the Cobas Amplicor tests, this assay also proved to be more sensitive than the Ag assay. Many questions still remain to be answered. Not all of the studies described above are included, due to varying study designs and end points or lack of clinical data (1, 9, 10, 26, 40). Occasionally, there will be missed cases of disease that are not preceded by CMV DNAemia or pp65 antigenemia. Risk factors for resistance include prolonged or previous anti-CMV drug exposure or inadequate dosing, absorption, or bioavailability.

Sirolimus-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis protects against cytomegalovirus reactivation after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a cohort analysis. All three assays were negative after 14 days of GCV treatment in 12 of 13 patients. Prevention of CMV disease with low CMV-associated mortality seemed to be superior in studies using short-term (14-day) Ag- or PCR-based preemptive GCV treatment (19, 20, 42, 45, 52, 58, 59, 73, 86, 97; H.

Cytomegalovirus in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients: current status, known challenges, and future strategies. SUMMARY The main risk factors for cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplants (SCT) are recipient CMV seropositivity and acute graft-versus-host disease. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains one of the most important complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a significant complication in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. Currently, two antiviral strategies, prophylactic or preemptive antiviral treatment, are used for prevention of CMV disease. FoscarnetIntravenous foscarnet is considered second-line therapy for CMV reactivation or disease; however, for patients developing dose-limiting neutropenia or CMV strains resistant to GCV, it is the drug of choice (69). The coefficient of variation of most PCR assays for viral loads close to the limit of detection may be as high as 30%.62,63  Thus, increases of less than 0.5 log10 (or 3 times the baseline level) may not represent true increases. Studies of immune recovery after allogeneic SCT have shown a temporal delay in the recovery of CMVs T-cell responses and have identified a decisive role for the recovery of CD8+ CTL responses in preventing the development of CMV disease (79, 82, 87). In a commentary it was stated that more efficient culture systems are needed to make this therapy more accessible. Today, ganciclovir or foscarnet is used rarely before transplantation except in situations of pretransplantation CMV disease and in children with congenital immunodeficiency. CMV viral load as predictor for transplant-related mortality in the era of pre-emptive therapy. However, none of the 17 patients treated with CD8+ CMVs CTLs developed CMV infection (87, 99). In the group of patients with negative CMV cultures, the rate of CMV infection was 12 of 55. This patient had CMVs T cells administered at day 14 posttransplant, when Campath-1H (the immunoglobulin G1 humanized monoclonal antibody against CD52) probably was still circulating, which might have induced lysis of these T cells. Only 1 of 12 evaluable patients showed subsequent CMV reactivation. After start of preemptive therapy, viral load increases occur in approximately one-third of patients and are due to the underlying immunosuppression.80  Thus, in a drug-naive person (which is the case in most patients during the first 3 months after transplantation), it is unlikely that these increases are due to true drug resistance in adult patients; however, cases of early-onset resistance in pediatric patients have been reported. NLM Blood 2009; 113 (23): 5711–5719. They are also critical for the management of drug-resistant CMV disease, which will probably increase with the increased use of antiviral drugs in some HCT candidates, such patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia,68  and perhaps in immunocompetent patients in the future.109. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation remains one of the most common and life-threatening infectious complications following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, despite novel diagnostic technologies, several novel prophylactic agents, and further improvements in preemptive therapy and treatment of established CMV disease. If a patient is found CMV seronegative, a strategy to provide “CMV-safe” blood products should be used. Even more, there is lack of clarity whether PCR tests can better be performed with plasma, whole blood, or peripheral blood leukocyte samples. No data exist for valganciclovir used as prophylaxis, and it cannot be recommended. Currently, the most used tests for diagnosis of CMV infection are detection of antigen (pp65; antigenemia assay), DNA, or mRNA. Furthermore, several other aspects of prevention of CMV disease are reviewed: (i) methods available for early detection of CMV reactivation, (ii) monitoring of CMV-specific (CMVs) T-cell responses, (iii) the value of several antiviral drugs, and (iv) adoptive immunotherapy as prophylaxis or preemptive treatment of CMV reactivation or CMV disease. On the basis of these principles, we have instituted viral load thresholds and relative increases at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and are presently undergoing evaluation.
