One hundred twelve peripheral blood specimens were tested for the presence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) by the tube culture indirect immunoperoxidase (TC-IPA) procedure, the shell vial assay [shell vials were pre- and postinoculation treated with medium containing 2 of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) or 100 micrograms% cortisol] (SV-IFA), and conventional (MRC-5) tube cultures (TC-CPE). CMV was detected in 25 (22%) of the 112 specimens tested by at least one of these methods. The detection/isolation of CMV among the 25 positive specimens in shell vials maintained with 2% FBS, 100 micrograms% cortisol + 2% FBS, and 10% FBS was 36, 44, and 52%, respectively. Detection/isolation of the virus from blood by TC-IPA and TC-CPE was 52% and 76%, respectively. A significantly greater CMV detection rate occurred using TC-CPE compared to SV-IFA treated with medium supplemented with an FBS concentration of 2% (P = .0132), but not medium containing the higher serum supplement or the glucocorticoid (P greater than .05). Differences in the identification of a CMV viremia were observed by IPA, SV-IFA, and TC-CPE methodologies on a patient-to-patient basis, denoting the necessity of incorporating each methodology into the CMV screening panel. Demographic analysis of 82 AIDS patients showed a CMV viremia prevalence of 9% (2/28) in intravenous drug users, 57% (27/47) in homosexual patients, and 22% (2/9) in heterosexual and transfusion patients. Overnight (24 hr) storage of whole blood at 4 or 24 degrees C, respectively, reduced CMV recovery by 40% and 65%, when tested by TC-CPE.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
