Since primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a cause of morbidity among renal transplant recipients, we undertook a prospective study of our maintenance hemodialysis patients and personnel to determine whether these sources posed a risk for transmission of CMV. Our study of 85 patients and 49 personnel showed that CMV was detected in eight nontransplanted, older dialysis patients and 13 patients who had lost their allograft. In spite of the presence of CMV on the unit, no patient or staff member developed primary infection from interpersonal transmission or from transfused frozen red blood cells. All primary infections in renal transplant patients could be accounted for by acquisition from the transplanted kidney, thus eliminating the dialysis unit or frozen blood as a risk to either patients or personnel.
由于原发性巨细胞病毒（CMV）感染是肾移植受者发病的一个原因，我们对维持性血液透析患者及工作人员进行了一项前瞻性研究，以确定这些传染源是否构成CMV传播风险。我们对85例患者和49名工作人员的研究表明，在8例未接受移植的老年透析患者和13例移植肾失功的患者中检测到了CMV。尽管透析单元存在CMV，但没有患者或工作人员因人际传播或输注冷冻红细胞而发生原发性感染。肾移植患者的所有原发性感染都可归因于从移植肾获得，因此排除了透析单元或冷冻血液对患者或工作人员的风险。
