摘要
Blood samples held at either 4 degrees C or room temperature for 1 day had similar mean decreases in number of cytomegalovirus antigenemia-positive cells (52 to 55%) and similar false-negative test results (13 to 14%). After 2 days, samples held at 4 degrees C showed no further decline, whereas samples held at room temperature had a mean 81% decrease in positive cells, a 32% false-negative rate, and a more marked deterioration in cell morphology.
