title: Detection of antibody to cytomegalovirus-induced early antigens and comparison with four serologic assays and presence of viruria in blood donors.
abstract: Five hundred blood donors were evaluated for cytomegalovirus (CMV) viruria, antibody to CMV early antigens (EA-ab), CMV seropositivity by two screening assays, and CMV-specific immunoglobulin M by two methods. Three donors were viruric, EA-ab positive, and seropositive; two viruric donors were immunoglobulin M positive.
