LID - 10.3390/jcm12010351 [doi] LID - 351 AB - We aim to elucidate factors to aid in the prediction of cytomegalovirus viremia during the treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). We conducted a single-center, retrospective, observational study of 35 patients with newly diagnosed AAV. Factors associated with the development of CMV viremia were investigated via a logistic regression analysis. The CMV antigenemia test was performed in 25 patients (71%), of whom 15 (60%) were diagnosed with CMV viremia. Of these 15 patients, 5 developed a CMV infection. The total protein, hemoglobin, platelet count and lymphocyte counts at the time of the CMV antigenemia test were significantly lower in patients who developed CMV viremia. In addition, total protein, hemoglobin, platelet count and lymphocyte count also presented significantly decreasing trends in the following order: patients who did not develop CMV viremia, patients who developed CMV viremia without any symptoms, and patients who developed CMV infection. All patients with CMV recovered. In conclusion, the total protein, hemoglobin, platelet count and lymphocyte count may be useful markers for the prediction of CMV viremia and infection after the start of induction of immunosuppressive therapy for patients with AAV.
