Cytomegalovirus Infections Associated with Leukocyte Transfusions
Abstract
Patients randomized to receive or not to receive prophylactic leukocyte transfusions were evaluated prospectively for serologic, histologic, and cultural evidence of cytomegalovirus infection. Recipients of prophylactic leukocyte transfusions and control subjects were similar with regard to age, sex, underlying disease, immunosuppressive therapy, and number of other transfusions. The recipients of prophylactic leukocyte transfusions (mean, 23.1) had significantly more cytomegalovirus infections (19 of 31 versus seven of 27, p = 0.01) than did control patients receiving no leukocytes or only therapeutic leukocyte transfusions (mean, 3.8). Twenty-seven of 66 donors of leukocytes were seropositive for cytomegalovirus complement-fixation antibody, but cytomegalovirus was not isolated from any of 62 leukocyte transfusions cultured for virus. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that latent cytomegalovirus may be present in leukocytes of blood donors with previous cytomegalovirus infection and after transfusion may be activated to produce active cytomegalovirus infection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
