ABSTRACT

We tested 606 specimens for cytomegalovirus infection. Fifty-two specimens were positive by conventional culture versus forty-three by pre-cytopathic effect detection. Twenty-nine specimens were positive by both methods. Because of toxicity, specimens should be set up on both conventional and shell vial culture systems to achieve maximum sensitivity.
