[Detection of cytomegalovirus antibody levels in renal transplant patients by complement fixation and ELISA tests].
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections activated after renal transplantation due to immunosuppressive therapy are commonly diagnosed by serological tests and virus isolation procedures. In this paper, 35 renal transplant patients were investigated in order to detect seroconversion in 2nd 3rd months after transplantation by using CMV-Elisa test and complement fixation test. In addition, applicability of these two tests in CMV serology is also discussed.
