To compare the sensitivity and suitability of detection of active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection by using monoclonal antibodies against CMV antigen (antigen test to detect antigenemia)and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR; to detect viral DNA) in granulocytes, 19 heart and 2 lung transplant recipients were closely monitored by these tests for at least 3 months after transplantation. All patients were CMV seropositive or had a seropositive donor. In totaI, 201 samples were tested; 46 were positive by both tests, 9 samples showed onIy antigenemia, 54 samples were positive by PCR only, and 102 samples were negative by both tests.
