ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of transplantation-related morbidity and mortality. This study assessed the utility of the QuantiFERON monitor (QFM; Qiagen) for the prediction of early CMV infection and viral burden.METHODS:
QuantiFERON-CMV (QF-CMV; Qiagen) and QFM were measured at the post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) week 4. CMV DNA was measured at every visit until post-HSCT week 24. The QFM cutoff specific to CMV infection was established.RESULT:
At the post-HSCT week 4, the QFM cutoff predicting CMV infection was 86.95 IU/mL. While QF-CMV results at the post-HSCT week 4 were associated with high-level CMV infection (CMV DNA ≥ 5,000 IU/mL) but not with CMV infection (CMV DNA ≥ 500 IU/mL), QFM was associated with both CMV infection and high-level CMV infection. Both indeterminate QF-CMV and nonreactive QFM were associated with increased peak CMV DNA.CONCLUSION:
Low QFM is a risk factor for CMV infection and increased CMV viral loads. QFM at post-HSCT week 4 can be utilized as an assay to predict the risk and burden of early CMV infection in HSCT recipients, in conjunction with other risk factors.Palabras clave
