BACKGROUND: Reliable and fast detection and quantification of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in various diagnostic specimens is essential for care of immunocompromised or congenitally infected individuals.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the analytical and clinical performance of the Panther Aptima® CMV (Hologic) quantitative real-time transcription mediated amplification (TMA) assay.
STUDY DESIGN: Performance of the TMA assay run on the Hologic Panther Fusion was analysed for 32 proficiency testing samples and 21 quantitative reproducibility panel samples; additionally, we compared results of TMA assay and routine quantitative real-time PCR assays ("PCR-A"= Biomérieux CMV R-gene® or "PCR-B"= Laboratory-developed CMV-PCR) in 518 diagnostic specimens (254 plasma, 120 EDTA whole blood, 43 urine, 45 amniotic fluid and 56 breast milk) at two university hospital laboratories.
RESULTS: All proficiency panel samples were correctly identified and quantified by the TMA assay; replicate testing of the reproducibility panel samples showed good reproducibility within and between the two laboratories. Sensitivity in plasma and WB was higher for the TMA assay detecting low-level CMV-DNAemia in samples tested negative by routine PCR. Quantitative CMV-DNAemia values correlated well between TMA and real-time PCR. Similarly, urine, AF and BM specimens showed a high rate of concordant results (91%, 98% and 98%, respectively) among TMA and PCR with good correlation of quantitative values.
CONCLUSION: The performance of the Aptima® CMV TMA assay for viral blood load testing compared well to established real-time PCRs. In addition, it can be useful for diagnostics in urine, amniotic fluid and breast milk specimens.
