A Randomized Trial and Economic Analysis Comparing the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antigenemia Assay and Day 35 Screening Bronchoscopy for the Early Detection and Prevention of CMV Disease in Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients

Many strategies have been shown to be effective in preventing CMV disease in bone marrow transplant recipients (BMT). However, few randomized trials have been conducted comparing these strategies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to randomly assign patients past-BMT to two different CMV prevention strategies and to measure the incidence of CMV disease and death. As well, an economic analysis will be conducted to determine the relative costs of these strategies.
