Abstract
Maribavir (MBV), a UL97 inhibitor, shows good oral bioavailability, low host cell toxicity, and theoretical benefits to inhibit cross-resistant viruses. We herein examined clinical and virological outcomes of 12 patients, including 3 bone marrow recipients and 9 organ recipients infected with resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) and treated with MBV during 2011-2012. All received at least 800-mg daily doses. They had developed clinical (12/12) and/or virological (11/12) resistance to CMV infection. Based on a decrease of viral load in blood >1.5 log copies/mL half of them responded to MBV treatment. The individual changes varied from a rapid decrease in viral load (n = 4) to no response (n = 3) with some late response slowly decreasing viremia (n = 3). In 2 cases MBV was used as secondary prophylaxis. No clear parameter emerged as a clinical surrogate for nonresponse to MBV. These results contrast with the lack of efficacy in phase III trials of MBV prophylaxis among stem cell recipients, which were possibly due to low doses or inadequate timing of drug initiation in the study. Additional clinical and surrogate laboratory markers are needed to determine antiviral responses to guide MBV use. Dosage ranging studies might benefit future MBV use.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Monitoring cytomegalovirus circulating viral load is an important parameter of the follow-up in immunocompromised patients. It can be measured either by DNAemia or by pp65 antigenemia. The French national reference center for cytomegaloviruses organized an investigation of practice in 37 teacher hospital virology laboratories to assess the situation in France in 2010. METHODS A questionnaire was sent to collect following information: method used in routine for monitoring of circulating viral load of CMV, assay used, sample matrix and extraction method. RESULTS Thirty-six over thirty-seven laboratories filled the questionnaire. Among these, 67% used the quantitative PCR in routine, 11% antigenemia and 22% antigenemia or quantitative PCR; 87% of the laboratories use whole blood for quantitative PCR, whereas 10% and 3% use plasma and leukocytes respectively. Among the laboratories using DNAemia, 100% used real-time PCR assays, 91% use an automated extraction and 9% a manual extraction. CONCLUSION Thus in France, measurement of DNAemia by real-time PCR is a tool, which gradually replaces the antigenemia for the monitoring of cytomegalovirus infection among immunocompromised patients. The very great diversity of the methods used justifies the installation of a national quality control on total blood, matrix used by 87% of the laboratories.

Abstract
Whether valaciclovir (VCV) prophylaxis could be responsible for ganciclovir (GCV)-resistance of Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in transplantation has never been documented. A multicentric retrospective pilot study was undertaken to detect GCV-resistance through mutations within the UL97 gene in renal transplant recipients who experienced active HCMV infection and received valacyclovir prophylaxis. Twenty-three patients who experienced HCMV antigenaemia or DNAemia during or at the end of prophylaxis were included. UL97 genotyping was carried out on peripheral blood samples, using a nested in-house PCR, which amplified the full-length UL97 gene. One patient has a resistance-related mutation (M460I); the major risk factor for emergence of resistance in this patient was the presence of early and persistent antigenaemia. GCV-resistance during VCV-prophylaxis was rare after renal transplantation. However, special attention must be paid to patients developing early active HCMV infection under prophylaxis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hypothetical responsibility of sperm donation in cytomegalovirus (CMV) transmission to recipients and precautions to prevent this transmission are widely discussed. The aim of this French CECOS Federation study was to evaluate both the reality and the importance of the CMV risk due to donor sperm and the relevance of measures used to screen it. METHODS We conducted a prospective multicentric study. CMV was detected by rapid and conventional cultures and by PCR in the frozen sperm of donors who met the normal criteria required of semen donors, irrespective of their CMV serological status. RESULTS 635 samples from 231 donors (39.4% IgG(+)) were obtained and tested by culture; 551 samples from 197 donors were also tested by PCR. From those samples, 0.78% were culture(+), 1.57% culture(+) and/or PCR(+); 3.3% of seropositive donors and 0.72% of initially seronegative donors were culture(+), but in the latter seroconversion occurred during the quarantine period; of the 197 PCR-tested donors, 3.5% (6.2/1.7) were PCR(+), 3.3% (5.3/1.45) culture(+) and/or PCR(+). PCR(+) samples can be culture(-) and vice versa. The most strongly positive sample corresponded to an initially seronegative donor. CONCLUSION The best strategy to prevent potential CMV risk is to test donors for CMV IgG and IgM antibody at the outset and after a 6 month period of quarantine and to reject initially IgM seropositive donors or donors who seroconvert during the quarantine period.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be transmitted by fresh blood components containing leukocytes. Consequences of CMV infection are serious in immunocompromised patients and in neonates. Thus, prevention of transfusion-transmitted CMV is of paramount importance. The use of blood products from CMV seronegative donors has been shown effective in preventing transmission. However, it does not completely eliminate the risk of transmission. Moreover, as CMV seroprevalence reaches 50 to 100% depending on the geographical and socioeconomic conditions, the availability of CMV seronegative products is limited. Leukodepletion of cellular blood products can be achieved by various filtration techniques. A method capable of achieving a residual leukocyte count < 5 x 10(6) per unit allows for the reduction of CMV transmission to a level at least equivalent to the transfusion of seronegative blood components. Moreover, leukodepletion may reduce endogenous virus reactivation. Administration of filtered blood products from CMV seronegative donors is usually recommended for those patients at major risk of severe CMV transfusion-associated disease. The ability of the most efficient methods for blood filtration in preventing CMV transmission has to be assessed. Such methods would make it possible to avoid serological screening of blood donors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the natural history and the current risk factors for cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in the context of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). SETTING Prospective multicentre cohort in 15 university hospitals in France. METHODS A group of 198 patients with CD4 cell count < 100 x 10(6) cells/l (or < 200 x 10(6) cells/l under HAART for at least 2 months), no previous CMV disease and CMV-positive serology were followed every 4 months clinically and for virological testing including HIV RNA and CMV blood markers (culture, pp65 antigenaemia, plasma CMV DNA and CMV late mRNA by the polymerase chain reaction). RESULTS At inclusion, median CD4 was 77 x 10(6) cells/l (0-308) and 85% of the patients received protease inhibitors. The percentage of patients receiving HAART reached 99% at 12 months. After a follow-up of 23.6 months, the incidence of CMV disease was 3.2/100 patient-years [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-5.0]. In univariate Cox models, all the CMV markers, a CD4 cell count remaining < 75 x 10(6) cells/l and an HIV viral load > 100,000 copies/ml were predictive for CMV disease. The hazard ratios for CMV disease were 11 for blood culture; 14 and 70 for pp65 antigenaemia of > or = 1 and > or = 100 nuclei/200,000 cells, respectively; 35 for plasma CMV DNA; 6 for CMV mRNA; 29 for CD4 < 75 x 10(6) cells/l; and 12 for HIV RNA > 100,000 copies/ml. In a stepwise multivariate analysis, only three covariates were independently associated with the occurrence of a disease: plasma CMV DNA, pp65 antigenaemia > or = 100 nuclei/200,000 cells and a CD4 count < 75 x 10(6) cells/l. CONCLUSION CMV blood markers and CD4 count < 75 x 10(6) cells/l remain risk factors for CMV disease in patients receiving HAART. Analysis of plasma CMV DNA by the polymerase chain reaction is a reproducible and standardized tool that could be used as a decision marker for initiating CMV pre-emptive therapy.

Abstract
The emergence of a resistant strain is a theoretical threat after extensive use of antiviral drugs. We report the emergence of a ganciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) strain in a kidney transplant recipient during oral ganciclovir maintenance treatment. The patient was treated by oral ganciclovir for 2 months after successful treatment of CMV primary infection by intravenous ganciclovir. He developed a new episode of CMV infection with no clinical response to intravenous ganciclovir. The CMV isolate exhibited both phenotypic and genotypic resistance to ganciclovir. The CMV isolate was constituted of a mixture of strains, with and without a mutation at codon 460 of the UL97 gene. The clinical condition improved when mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was discontinued, and a short course of intravenous globulin was added to ganciclovir. The emergence of the CMV strain could be secondary to more potent immunosuppression provide by MMF or subtherapeutic level obtained during oral ganciclovir treatment. We believe that ganciclovir resistance must be part of the differential diagnosis when a patient relapses or fails to respond to ganciclovir treatment.

Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an ubiquitous agent. CMV infection is a common, usually subclinical world wide infection with a tendency for virulence in congenitally-infected infants and immunosuppressed patients including allograft recipients and patients with AIDS. Anti-CMV drugs are used for the treatment of severe infections in immunosuppressed patients. Developments of vaccine to protect pregnant women from primary infection are in progress.

Abstract
We studied the immunoglobulins of a cohort of 212 HIV-positive patients followed-up for 13 years. The qualitative study of immunoglobulins by immunoelectrophoresis and immunofixation distinguished three groups of patients: those with monoclonal immunoglobulins, those with minor abnormalities of immunoglobulins and those with polyclonal immunoglobulins. We characterized these groups according to age, sex, immunoglobulin isotypes, and survival curves. The results show that this population of immunoglobulinopathies has distinctive characteristics. In particular, the presence of immunoglobulin abnormalities has no significant prognostic value.

Abstract
Cidofovir (CDF) or Vistid is a monophosphate nucleoside analogue that inhibits the DNA polymerase of herpes viruses including the cytomegalovirus (CMV). CDF is active on GCV-resistant strains with a mutation on the phosphotransferase gene (UL97). However, DNA polymerase gene mutations that induce resistance to GCV are responsible for cross-resistance to CDF. Resistance phenotypes to GCV and CDF were determined for 57 CMV strains isolated from blood and urine samples. Sixteen strains were recovered after CDF therapy. Of the remaining 41 CDF-naive strains, 34 were susceptible and seven resistant to GCV. Fifty percent inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for CDF were in the 0.2-2.6 microM range for CDF-naive strains susceptible to GCV. For GCV-resistant strains, IC50 values for CDF were < or = 3 microM for strains with a low level of resistance to GCV (GCV IC50 < 30 microM) and > or = 6 microM for three of the five strains with a high level of resistance to GCV (GCV IC50 > or = 30 microM).

Abstract
We report the case of a lung transplant recipient with progressive cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease due to a resistant CMV strain emerging under ganciclovir (GCV) therapy. A discriminative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, designed to detect the resistance-related V460 mutation within the viral enzyme UL97, revealed the presence of a mutated strain in a heterogeneous isolate 51 days after transplantation. The conventional antiviral susceptibility assay had failed to demonstrate resistance to GCV. Under prolonged GCV therapy, the mutated strain dominated the wild-type strain, as shown by the PCR assay. This domination led to laboratory resistance, associated with recurrent fever and progressively severe retinitis. As this discriminative PCR assay was shown to be effective in detecting mutated strains that constitute a minority in the virus load, it should allow better management of patients with CMV disease.

Abstract
The substitution of methionine by either isoleucine or valine at residue 460 in the UL97 phosphotransferase has been shown to be responsible for resistance to ganciclovir (GCV) in 30% of resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) isolates [4]. These substitutions require one nucleotide change in the gene (G- > T 1 380 and A- > G 1378 respectively). The aim of this study was to develop a discriminative PCR assay for rapid detection of these DNA changes. A PCR assay was duplicated in parallel for each mutation; to detect G- > T 1380 each reaction mixture contained primer VSUL14 and either primer LNW to distinguish wild type residues or LNM to distinguish mutant residues, and for A- > G 1378 primers were VSUL8 and either MCMW to detect wild type sequences or MCMM to detect mutated residues. For optimal discrimination, primers MCMW and MCMM were designed with a mismatch at position 3'-1. The reference strains AD169, Davis and Towne, a laboratory GCV-resistant mutant RCL1.7, and 33 CMV isolates (10 resistant, 2 indetermined and 21 sensitive) were tested by PCR. AD169, Davis and Towne, and 30 isolates were amplified only with non modified primers, and the absence of 460 mutations was confirmed by sequencing. Two isolates P1 and P2, from a transplanted patient were amplified with both MCMM and MCMW: sequencing analysis shown the presence of a mixture of strain, one of them harbouring A- > G 1378 mutation. One resistant strain was amplified neither with MCMM nor with MCMW: a C- > T silent mutation at nt 1368 was present. As sequencing analysis confirmed PCR results, discriminative PCR enables isolates to be rapidly assessed for the presence or absence of 460 mutations. Moreover, it can distinguish Met to Val from Met to Ile mutations, and allows the analysis of mixtures of sensitive ad resistant strains.

Abstract
Various DNA changes located within a restricted region of the UL97 open reading frame were shown to be associated with the resistance of cytomegalovirus strains to ganciclovir (GCV). In order to analyse this UL97 region in sensitive and GCV-resistant strains, a non-radioactive sequencing assay (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) which combines the dideoxy visualisation by silver-staining of the gel was used. Using this assay, polymerase chain reaction products from results were obtained within 1 day. Point mutations modifying the amino acid sequence of the putative UL97 catalytic site were detected in three isolates. These led to an alanine to valine substitution in residue 594 in one strain with reduced GCV sensitivity, and to a cysteine to glycine substitution in residue 592 in two GCV-resistant isolates. These mutations were different from the DNA changes previously mapped in GCV-resistant laboratory or field strains. No amino acid substitution in the UL97 catalytic site was found in GCV-sensitive isolates. Transfer marker experiments are in progress in order to test the significance of these DNA changes for GCV resistance. This rapid non-radioactive sequencing protocol could be a useful tool for analysing the UL97 region encoding the putative UL97 catalytic site of clinical isolates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection is usually unrecognized during pregnancy. However, in some cases, ultrasound abnormalities can be observed in association with cytomegalovirus infection. CASE The prenatal diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection in a fetus with transient hydrops is reported. Fetal ascites was first recognized by routine ultrasound examination at 20 weeks' gestation. Hydrops fetalis was obvious at 23 weeks and completely resolved 1 week later. Cytomegalovirus was detected from amniotic fluid samples by centrifugal culture and direct immunofluorescent examination. The diagnosis of maternal primary infection could be established retrospectively by demonstrating immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM seroconversion on sequential sera. The pregnancy was electively terminated. Autopsy findings were consistent with fetal disseminated infection. CONCLUSION Transient hydrops fetalis in association with intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection is infrequent. The resolution of hydrops fetalis could be explained by hepatic dysfunction of limited duration. Amniotic fluid culture is a reliable approach for diagnosing intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection, but does not predict the severity of the disease or the outcome of the pregnancy. The long-term clinical significance of intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection has to be established.

Abstract
The prevalence of HIV infection was assessed among 15,611 consecutive patients attending a Parisian anonymous testing center from April 1988 to June 1993. Sera (17,910) were tested for the presence of anti-HIV antibodies using two different enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Seropositivity was verified by Western blotting. The sera were also assayed for HIV antigenemia detection in 2,493 cases. Six hundred and seventy-seven patients were found to be anti-HIV antibody positive: among them 666 were infected by HIV-1 and only 11 by HIV-2. Antigenemia was detected in 108 samples (4.3%). In all cases but 5, antigenemia was associated with the presence of specific antibodies. Risk factors for HIV infection could be determined for 5,735 patients. The HIV prevalence rates were 5.2% in 1988-89, 4.9% in 1990, 3.4% in 1991, 2.8% in 1992 and 1.8% for the 6 first months of 1993 (p < 0.01). Only one patient was coinfected with HTLV-1. This study shows a trend of decreasing seropositivity rates among the patients attending the anonymous testing center since 1990. By contrast, the percentage of seropositive patients with antigenemia was stable between 1988 and 1993.

Abstract
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gene UL97 product was shown to play an important role in phosphorylation of ganciclovir (GCV) in HCMV-infected cells. The deletion of the 4 amino-acid sequence AACR confers resistance to a laboratory mutant. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid and simple method to detect mutations within the 12 base pair (bp) fragment encoding AACR, from isolates and clinical specimens (urine, bronchoalveolar lavage, cerebral spinal fluid samples). A target region encompassing this 12bp sequence was amplified by a single-step PCR assay from HCMV isolates and reference strains, and a two-step procedure from clinical specimens. Reaction products were submitted to restriction enzyme analysis and dot-blot hybridization assay. Two biotinylated probes were used: one probe (DL) overlapping the 12bp region; and a control probe with similar length and GC content. Hybridization was performed under conditions allowing the detection of one bp deletion (HCMV strain susceptibility to GCV was determined by a rapid late antigen synthesis reduction assay.) The control probe hybridized to the UL97 sequence amplified from all 23 tested isolates and the reference strains. The DL probe gave a positive signal with GCV-susceptible strains; no signal was obtained for five out of seven resistant isolates, and for a laboratory mutant derived from the strain AD169. Restriction analysis of amplification products showed different patterns suggesting this region can be involved in various DNA changes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Recently developed methods have greatly increased the sensitivity and speed of virological diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection. Virus can be detected in infected cell cultures within 24 or 48 hours of specimen inoculation by using monoclonal antibodies to immediate-early antigens in immunocytochemistry procedures or DNA sequences in hybridisation in situ assays. CMV antigens can also be detected directly in infected cells within clinical specimens. An early antigen can be visualized in nuclei of circulating leukocytes from viremic patients. DNA hybridization is used for CMV analysis in Dot-blot, Southern-blot and in situ hybridization assays. DNA amplification, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has proven to be a very sensitive method for diagnosis of CMV infection and should be useful for investigation of CMV pathogenesis and latency. Serologic assays such as ELISA and latex agglutination assays are accurate for screening donors and recipients of blood and organ or marrow graft. Studies of viral protein epitopes recognized by human sera are in progress.

Abstract
Rapid detection of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) from blood was performed in parallel using inoculation into human fibroblastic cells of both 500 microliters of whole blood and of buffy coat derived from 9.5 ml of blood. Of the 46 samples tested, 20 were positive for HCMV, 18 when the buffy coat was inoculated (90%) and 17 (85%) when whole blood was used. Fifteen samples were positive by both techniques. Four samples gave discordant results: in three cases, viraemia was detected only by buffy coat assay and in one case only by whole blood assay. These results suggest that HCMV isolation from blood should be performed by inoculating whole blood into cell cultures if only small blood volumes can be collected.

Abstract
The cytomegalovirus antigenemia test is based on immunocytochemical detection of HCMV early structural protein pp65 in the nuclei of polymorphonuclear blood leucocytes of patients with systemic infection. Specificity and sensitivity are > or = 90% and positivity correlates well with HCMV disease, allowing better monitoring than isolation from buffy coat of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Polymorphonuclear cells appear as a main site of initial HCMV infection and reactivation.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody (MAb) E-13 to human cytomegalovirus is used widely for diagnostic and fundamental studies, and has been shown to be directed against an immediate early (IE) protein(s). To determine which viral antigen is detected by MAb E-13, four subfragments from the open reading frame encoded by exons 2, 3 or 4 of IE-1 were cloned in the bacterial expression vector pROS. The resulting fusion proteins contained amino acids 77 to 491 encoded by mainly exon 4, amino acids 25 to 78 encoded by exon 3, amino acids 1 to 85 encoded by exons 2 and 3, and amino acids 1 to 24 encoded by exon 2. The reactivity of MAb E-13 with the fusion proteins was assayed by Western blotting. MAb E-13 was shown to react exclusively with proteins encoded by exon 2 and therefore recognizes IE proteins which contain the N-terminal amino acid sequence encoded by exon 2, namely the major 72K IE protein, the 82K to 86K IE-2 protein and the 52K to 55K IE-2 protein. MAb E-13 can be used to detect both IE-1- and IE-2-encoded proteins, which share the polypeptide encoded by exon 2.

Abstract
Continuous cell lines were assessed for use for rapid human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) detection procedures combining tissue culture, centrifugation, and immediate early antigen (IEA) immunostaining. Human cells (MRC-5 embryonic fibroblasts, U-373MG astrocytoma cells, differentiated teratocarcinoma (Tera-2) cells), murine cells (BALB/c-3T3 and Y-1 cells), BHK21 hamster cells, and mink lung (ML) cells were first inoculated with HCMV laboratory strain. IEA synthesizing cells were detected by immunoperoxidase assay using a monoclonal antibody. ML cells and differentiated Tera-2 cells exhibited more positive cells than MRC-5 cells. BHK21, and MRC-5 cells were equivalent in sensitivity whereas U-373MG, BALB/c-3T3, and Y-1 cells had only reduced IEA positive cells. When 63 urine specimens were inoculated onto MRC-5, ML and differentiated Tera-2 cells, 20 (31.7%) were positive in MRC-5 cells versus 18 (28.5%) in ML or Tera-2 cells. Moreover, greater numbers of infected cells were detected in MRC-5 cells than in these two cell lines. MRC-5 cells were superior for detection of HCMV in clinical samples by centrifugation cultures.

Abstract
In a study concerning five CMV-infected bone-marrow-transplant recipients, five congenital CMV diseases and appropriate controls, presence of high levels of circulating interferon (IFN) was demonstrated exclusively during the course of CMV disease. This interferon was predominantly "immune" or gamma interferon (gamma-IFN). These results suggest that during CMV disease the interferon compartment of the immune response is modified.

Abstract
During a ten month period, 117 fibreoptic bronchoscopies and bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) were performed in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients suspected of having opportunistic pulmonary infections. The BAL were classified into 3 groups, according to clinical manifestations related to HIV infection at the time of fibreoptic bronchoscopy: pre-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (n = 54), AIDS with Kaposi's sarcoma (n = 37), AIDS without Kaposi's sarcoma (n = 26). On chest X-ray, diffuse infiltrates were most common (54%), followed by normal X-rays (24%) and localized infiltrates (18%). Amongst the 117 BAL, 68 (58%) yielded at least one opportunistic agent. In 28 BAL performed for pulmonary signs or unexplained fever with normal chest X-rays, one or several opportunistic agents were isolated in 17 samples of BAL fluid. The most frequently identified opportunistic agents were Pneumocystis carinii (in 38% of BAL) and cytomegalovirus (35%); these were associated in 17% of BAL. There was no statistically significant difference in opportunistic agents among the 3 groups of BAL (pre-AIDS, AIDS with Kaposi's sarcoma, AIDS without Kaposi's sarcoma). In particular, cytomegalovirus was found in BAL with the same frequency in these 3 groups.

Abstract
Two methods for the isolation of Toxoplasma gondii were analyzed and compared. Bradyzoites or tachyzoites of three strains of T. gondii were injected into mice and introduced in parallel onto MRC5 fibroblasts cultured on cover slips. In the cultures, the parasites were more readily identified by an indirect immunofluorescence assay than by examination of unstained or Giemsa-stained cultures. With the RH strain, the tachyzoites replicated actively, and large foci of parasites were observed in 24 h. The bradyzoites or tachyzoites of the other strains could also be cultivated, but grew rather slowly; 2 days after inoculation, early stages of multiplication could be observed: from day +4, Toxoplasma clusters or foci were easily identified at a x100 magnification. The course of infection in mice was greatly dependent on the virulence of the strain and on the parasitic stage inoculated. In the chronically infected mice, evidence of Toxoplasma infection was only detected 45 days after inoculation through the demonstration of cysts in the brain or the presence of specific antibodies in the serum. The mean ratio of infected mice and positive cultures was compared in relation to the inoculum size. The tissue culture method was found to be at least as sensitive as mouse inoculation. Since Toxoplasma organisms may be isolated within a few days in tissue culture, it is proposed that this method should be used when early isolation of the parasite is crucial for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia was systematically studied in 56 patients having undergone bone marrow transplantation for leukemia or aplastic anemia. Of the patients who survived at least three months, 57% had CMV viremia with a frequency peak between the 7th and the 9th weeks. We describe possible clinical signs associated with viremia, particularly late peripheral and/or central thrombocytopenia. The occurrence of viremia was studied according to the specific preexisting immune status of recipients and donors; granulocyte transfusions and graft-versus-host disease. The relationship between these parameters and viremia provides a basis for the analysis of prophylactic treatments of CMV infection.

Abstract
CMV can be detected in blood with two techniques: isolation of CMV from the buffy-coat on human embryonic fibroblasts; CMV genome detection by DNA hybridization technique. Isolation of CMV from blood plated on embryonic fibroblasts necessitates a delay of 10-30 days. Using monoclonal antibodies we have developed a 96 hours test to diagnose viremia. Fibroblasts grown on coverslip in tubes are inoculated with buffy-coat. Indirect immunofluorescence test is performed using the monoclonal antibodies E 13, 48 and 96 hours post-infection. DNA-DNA hybridization technique necessitates purification of CMV DNA. CMV DNA is then labelled with 32 P by nick-translation. This labelled DNA is used as probe for detection of CMV genome in DNA extracted from leukocytes. The hybridization is virus-specific. Cytomegaloviremia correlates with active infection and is not indicate of the carrier state of blood donors. CMV genome research in blood can potentially identify infective donors. Further studies are needed to correlate CMV genome detection in blood with presence of CMV antibodies.

Abstract
CMV infection is one of the major infection after bone marrow transplantation. CMV viremia was systematically studied in 66 patients with aplastic anemia or leukemia undergoing BMT. 57% patients had CMV viremia with a frequency peak between 7 and 9 weeks after transplant. Clinical symptoms found during viremia were pancytopenia, fever, cytolytic hepatitis. Interstitial pneumonitis was found only in 4 cases. In 3 cases, viremia was not associated with clinical symptoms. Survival was identical to the group of patients without viremia. Viremia was positively associated with the presence of high anti-CMV antibody titer in donor or recipient before transplant, or to a lymphocyte proliferative response against CMV antigens in donor or recipient before BMT. Granulocyte transfusions increased the frequency of CMV viremia. CMV infection was significantly associated with acute and chronic graft versus host disease. The relation showed between these parameters and viremia provides a basis for an accurate diagnosis of CMV infection and a better background for the study of prophylactic or curative treatment of CMV infection.

Abstract
In a double-bind controlled study, oral Acyclovir has been compared to a placebo in a series of 39 consecutive patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation. A dose of 200 mg was given every 6 h from day 8 to day 35 after transplantation. Pharmacokinetic studies have shown the good absorption of the drug despite intestinal damage related to chemoradiotherapy or gut graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), there was no sign of toxicity. The protection against herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection was complete in the treated group when compared to the control group even in patients with high anti-HSV antibody titres. The same protection was observed against cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. The incidence of HSV and CMV was the same in both groups after treatment ended. This study confirms the efficacy of Acyclovir against HSV infection and possibly against CMV infection when it is given prophylactically after bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract
The responsibility of Chlamydia trachomatis in non-gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis was investigated in 267 patients of both sexes. It was confirmed in 36.3% of patients with urethritis and 20.9% of patients with cervicitis by isolating C. trachomatis on Hela 229 cells in the presence of cytochalasin B. No clinical feature specific of C. trachomatis infection could be elicited. The patients were tested for total IgM-type serum anti-chlamydia antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence (IF), using as antigen the inclusions formed in Hela 229 cells by an L2 serotype of C. trachomatis. The serological study was also performed in 86 blood-donors used as controls. The diagnostic value of IF serology is limited in lower genito-urinary infections; the presence of specific IgM's correlates well with the isolation of C. trachomatis, but these IgM's are not detected in protracted urethritis or cervicitis. In such cases, the aetiological diagnosis can only be made by isolation of C. trachomatis from the focus of infection.

Abstract
In a study concerning five CMV-infected bone-marrow-transplant recipients, five congenital CMV diseases and appropriate controls, presence of high levels of circulating interferon (IFN) was demonstrated exclusively during the course of CMV disease. This interferon was predominantly "immune" or gamma interferon (gamma-IFN). These results suggest that during CMV disease the interferon compartment of the immune response is modified.
