title: [The problem of cytomegalovirus infection in military blood transfusions].
abstract: The actuality of a problem of cytomegaloviral infection in military transfusiology is substantiated by the increasing number of immunocompromised recipients, mass use of hemocomponent therapy in prophylaxis and correction of anemia, thrombohemorrhagic and immunodeficient syndromes. Cytomegaloviral infection in the recipients of hemocomponents may have unfavourable consequences, such as the development of mononucleosis, enhanced sensitivity to opportunistic infectious agents as a result of virus-induced immunodepression, graft rejection, risk of the development of oncologic diseases, atherosclerosis, disorders in the processes of reparation and regeneration. In the northwestern part of Russia the cytomegaloviral antigens are disclosed in 65-75% of men, age 18-23. Actual tasks are the following: put into practice cytomegaloviral antigens test for donors, make a wide use of effective leukocytic filters for leukocyte removal from hemotransfusional medium, minimize posttransfusion immunosuppression, determine recipients who need transfusions of hemocomponents prepared from seronegative donors.
