Abstract:
Two infants were considered to have acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection from blood transfusions screened for the presence of CMV antibody by a haemagglutination assay. Further samples from the same donors were tested by a latex agglutination test; six of 18 (33%) previously believed seronegative were found to be seropositive.
