Abstract
Of 60 patients receiving heart transplants in 1986, 45 were examined serologically for at least 50 days: 28 had a cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and 12 had symptoms of a CMV infection. In those patients who before transplantation were serological negative for CMV but had received organs from CMV-IgG positive donors, the incidence of the disease was highest. No CMV infection was observed among CMV-IgG negative recipients of CMV-negative donor hearts.
