    Abstract Background: Quantitation of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) DNA in clinical specimens is important for the diagnosis and management of HHV-6-associated infection and reactivation in immunocompromised patients, particularly transplant recipients.
    Methods: The analytical performance of the Altona RealStar ASR HHV-6 qPCR on the semi-automated AltoStar AM16 system was assessed using HHV-6 reference material in plasma and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Qualitative and quantitative agreement was determined using 123 clinical EDTA plasma specimens tested using a laboratory-developed HHV-6 qPCR.
    Results: The 95% Lower Limit of Detection was 20 IU/mL [95% confidence interval (CI): 10 to 29] in plasma and 78 IU/mL (95% CI: 55 to 146) in CSF. The assay was linear from 7.0 to 2.0 log
    Conclusions: The RealStar ASR HHV-6 qPCR on the AltoStar AM16 provides accurate quantitation for clinical monitoring of HHV-6 in immunocompromised hosts.

    Abstract Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) cause severe disease in immunocompromised patients. Quantitation of HAdV DNA in peripheral blood is used to assess the risk of disseminated disease and to monitor response to therapy. The lower limit of detection, precision, and linearity of the semiautomated AltoStar adenovirus quantitative PCR (qPCR) was evaluated using reference HAdV-E4 in EDTA plasma and respiratory virus matrix. Qualitative and quantitative agreement was determined using 122 clinical EDTA plasma specimens previously tested using a laboratory-developed HAdV qPCR. The 95% lower limit of detection (LLOD) was 33 IU/mL (95% confidence interval [CI], 10 to 56) for EDTA plasma and 188 IU/mL (95% CI, 145 to 304) for respiratory swab matrix. In both matrices, the AltoStar HAdV qPCR was linear from 7.0 to 2.0 log

    Abstract Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, particularly transplant recipients. Quantitation of CMV DNA in peripheral blood is used to monitor prophylactic and pre-emptive approaches to prevent CMV disease, whereas CMV DNA testing of non-plasma specimens may aid in the diagnosis of end-organ disease.
    Methods: The analytical performance of the FDA-approved Aptima CMV Quant Assay was evaluated using reference CMV (SeraCare) diluted in defibrinated human plasma, as well as negative bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and tissue. Agreement was determined using 100 clinical acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD) plasma specimens, 77 bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids, and 101 tissues previously tested using artus CMV qPCR.
    Results: Aptima CMV lower limit of detection (LLOD) was 169 IU/mL for ACD plasma, 100 IU/mL for BAL, and 50 IU/mL for tissue. Positive percent agreement (PPA) was 100.0% (50/50; 95% CI: 92.9% - 100.0%) and negative percent agreement (NPA) was 94.0% (47/50; 95% CI: 83.5% - 98.8%) for ACD plasma. Bland-Altman analysis revealed a bias of 0.20 log
    Conclusions: The Aptima CMV Quant Assay demonstrates high analytical sensitivity and good overall agreement using clinical plasma and tissue specimens.
