Highlights |
Studies of transfusion-transmitted CMV rarely exclude competing sources of infection
Donor-recipient molecular linkage of CMV rests on a single 1985 case series
Countries without routine leukoreduction report no molecularly confirmed cases
Whole-genome sequencing should be used to establish or refute donor-recipient linkage
