Detection of antibody to cytomegalovirus-induced early antigens and comparison with four serologic assays and presence of viruria in blood donors.
Five hundred blood donors were evaluated for cytomegalovirus (CMV) viruria, antibody to CMV early antigens (EA-ab), CMV seropositivity by two screening assays, and CMV-specific immunoglobulin M by two methods. Three donors were viruric, EA-ab positive, and seropositive; two viruric donors were immunoglobulin M positive.
