Abstract

Background and Objectives: CYTOMEGALOVIRUS is one of the most important viruses that its presence in transplant recipients has been surveyed. This virus can led to the severe disease or death. The prevalence of CMV infections in transplant recipients varies from one country to another. Indirect immunofluorescent method represents the virus multiplication and active infection, while PCR technique shows the presence of virus. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of active CMV infection in kidney transplant recipients using PCR and indirect immunofluorescent methods based on the season, age, and sex variables.Material and Methods: samples from kidney recipients admitted to Gholhak laboratory during year 2006 and 2007 from all over Iran. This study was performed using PCR technique and indirect immunofluorescent method (PP65 antigenemia assay). The results were analyzed by Chi2 and lojestic regression.Results: In total 923 samples were investigated. Seventy one (7.7%) and 323(35%) of samples were positive by antigenemia and PCR respectively. There was no correlation between CMV infection and age or sex of the patients (p>0.05). However there was a correlation between presence of virus and season in either used methods of study, which was statistically significant in the spring. The spring has meaningfull (p=0.01).Conclusion: Positive results obtained by PCR were more than antigenemia and this shows the higher sensitivity of this method to detect viral infection. we found no correlation between viral infection and sex or age by tested methods, but the infection rate had significant increase during spring.
