Abstract
Samples of peripheral blood from 76 different donors were detected for the presence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results showed that HCMVs were present in 39 out of 76 blood donors which reached an infection positive rate of 51.3%. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity on PCR were tested, it also indicated that the sensitivity can reach the level of 5fg.microliter-1. The method is simple, rapid, highly sensitive and specificity. It can be considered as a diagnostic measure in clinical detection of HCMV.
