In 7 of 18 solid-organ transplant recipients with primary human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, HCMV antigenemia levels were unexpectedly found to rise significantly (P = 0.018) during a mean time of 7.3 +/- 3.2 days after initiation of specific antiviral treatment, whereas corresponding levels of viremia dropped significantly (P = 0.043). Thus, shifting to an alternative antiviral drug based solely on increasing antigenemia levels is not justified in this group of patients.
在18例原发性人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)感染的实体器官移植受者中,有7例在开始特异性抗病毒治疗后的平均7.3±3.2天内,HCMV抗原血症水平意外显著升高(P = 0.018),而相应的病毒血症水平则显著下降(P = 0.043)。因此,仅基于抗原血症水平升高就转而使用另一种抗病毒药物,在这组患者中是不合理的。
