Cytomegalovirus retinitis secondary to chronic viremia in phagocytic leukocytes. 1977

M Fiala, and S N Chatterjee, and S Carson, and S Poolsawat, and D C Heiner, and A Saxon, and L B Guze

We studied the relationship between the duration and intensity of cytomegalovirus viremia, cytomegalovirus complement fixing antibody, and cytomegalovirus retinitis in 61 renal transplant recipients. Five (8%) patients had chronic viremia which lasted more than six months. Two of the five developed typical cytomegalovirus retinitis and a severe fungal infection after intensive viremia of more than 11 months' duration. Retinitis did not develop in 22 patients with short-term viremia. Infectious cytomegalovirus was largely associated with polymorphonuclear leukocytes, but the virus was associated with monocytes during the immature granulocytic response accompanying one patient's terminal illness.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.

D003586 Cytomegalovirus Infections Infection with CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, characterized by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults.
