RESUMO
Quantitative cytomegalovirus antigenemia and DNAemia were determined in peripheral leukocytes of 25 patients stored for up to 72 h at room temperature (RT) and 4 degrees C before processing. Numbers of antigen-positive cells significantly decreased with time. The decline was greater at RT than at 4 degrees C. In contrast, no significant alterations in DNAemia occurred.
