ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine whether cyclosporine levels predose (C0) and at two hours postdose (C2) were higher among patients presenting with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection or disease. Between days 40 and 365 posttransplantation serial C0 and C2 levels were measured in 15 lung transplant recipients. Nine developed 13 episodes of CMV infection or disease. Both C0 and C2 levels were higher during CMV infection or disease episodes. Eleven of the 13 CMV episodes (84%) displayed C0 >220 ng/mL and none had C0 <200 ng/mL. For C2, 11 of 13 CMV episodes (84%) showed C2 >1200 ng/mL and none had C2 <1000 ng/mL. Among determinations that did not coincide with a CMV episode, 7 of 21 (33%) showed C0 >220 and 9 of 21 (42%) showed C2 >1200, respectively (P<.05). In conclusion, cyclosporine blood levels are higher among patients presenting with CMV infection or disease.
