“…Specificity and sensitivity of a CMV antibody test are difficult to determine since no absolute reference is availn able. Therefore, conflicting reports are found in the liter ature [7][8][9][10][11]. To obtain the best possible information, one has to rely on the average of data from various studies.…”

“…A commercial indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA) was recently introduced and was the subject of a comparative study by Hunt et al. 8 We chose the IHA for routine antibody screening because of cost, convenience, and its good correlation with the traditional methods of complement fixation tests and immunofluorescence. The quality of the reagents for the IHA was not maintained, however, and thus immunofluorescence has remained the routine screening method at this centre.…”

“…The cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibody status of a transfusion or transplant candidate and that of the donor blood component or tissue may play a critical role in the management of at-risk patients such as low-birth-weight neonates and bone marrow or kidney transplant recipients (1-3, 12, 13, 18, 19). Previous reports have compared a variety of methods for this determination (5,6,10,11,15,16). A comparison of a new latex agglutination (LA) test with five other methods for determining anti-CMV levels in the sera of 210 random blood donors is reported.…”
