BACKGROUND AIMS: Identifying patients who spontaneously resolve cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation could spare these patients from the toxicity of antiviral drugs such as ganciclovir. The role of CMV-specific T cells in clearing CMV viremia in patients who do not receive ganciclovir has not been evaluated. We assessed this in patients with CMV viremia between 50 and 50 000 genome copies/mL, because our threshold for initiating ganciclovir is 50 000 copies/mL.
METHODS: We enumerated CMV-specific T cells in 39 CMV seropositive hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients within 4 days of the first positive CMV polymerase chain reaction (PCR). CMV-specific T cells were defined as cells that upon stimulation with CMV lysate or pp65 overlapping peptides produced interferon (IFN)-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α or interleukin (IL)-2, alone or in combination.
RESULTS: Among Donor (D+), Recipient (R+) patients, unifunctional CMV-specific CD4 T-cells were higher in patients who spontaneously resolved CMV viremia (did not receive ganciclovir) versus those who progressed (received ganciclovir) (median 0.20 versus 0.02/μL lysate-stimulated cells, P < 0.05, and 0.26 versus 0.05/μL pp65 peptide-stimulated cells, P<0.05). Among D- R+ patients, there was no difference between patients with spontaneous resolution or progression; all subsets of CMV-specific T cells measured were barely detectable, in both patients with spontaneous resolution and those with progression.
CONCLUSIONS: Among D+ R+ patients (but not D- R+ patients), high CMV-specific CD4 T-cell counts identify patients who can spontaneously resolve CMV reactivation. In D- R+ patients, immune mechanisms other than T cells may control the progression from reactivation to high-level viremia/disease.
