Abstract:
The test of 110 normal blood donors recruited by one hospital for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection was conducted by polymerase chain reaction,with its findings being analysed, indicating that the HCMV-DNA positive rate among the mentioned above blood donors was 61. 8% (68/110) ,in the meantime the HCMV-DNA positive rate was raised as the age increased. In the view of high HCMV infection rate among blood donors, it was recommended that the donor blood should be tested and screened for HCMV,when the special vulnerable cohort such as the patients with immune deficiency and transplanted organs and infants wanted to be transfused with donor's blood.
