Cell-mediated immunity in human cytomegalovirus infection.

RESUMO
The direct leukocyte migration inhibition test, in response to cytomegalovirus stimulation, was used to study cell-mediated immunity in a group of children with cytomegalovirus infection. The test was impaired in children with chronic disease associated with cytomegaloviruria. In those cases with no viruria at the moment of the test, leukocyte migration inhibition was normal. Our data suggest that the acquired chronic cytomegalovirus infection may be sustained by a state of specific cellular desensitization, as already demonstrated for congenital infection.
