Active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was treated successfully by only CMV antibody-enriched immunoglobulin (CMV-IG) in a renal transplant recipient. CMV-IG was injected at 86 mg/kg i.v. twice a day for a total of 16 days (4 plus 12 days, interrupted by a pause of 4 days), followed by weekly i.v. injection of 86 mg/kg (7 weeks). Active CMV infection was diagnosed on the basis of DNAemia in plasma, by a newly developed CMV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test (AMPLICOR CMV). The disappearance of CMV from plasma was confirmed by this PCR test. It seems that single CMV-IG therapy is worth consideration for the treatment of CMV infection.
在一名肾移植受者中,仅使用富含巨细胞病毒(CMV)抗体的免疫球蛋白(CMV-IG)就成功治疗了活动性CMV感染。CMV-IG以86mg/kg静脉注射,每天两次,共16天(4天加12天,中间停顿4天),随后每周静脉注射86mg/kg(共7周)。通过新开发的CMV聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测(AMPLICOR CMV),根据血浆中的病毒血症诊断为活动性CMV感染。通过该PCR检测证实了CMV从血浆中消失。看来单一的CMV-IG疗法值得考虑用于治疗CMV感染。
