Clinical Performance of SE-SPTM-PCR in Detecting Hcmv-miR-UL22A-5p After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

SE-SPTM-PCR (Selective Enrichment and Specific Probe Terminal Mediated PCR) is a microRNA-based diagnostic assay designed to detect hcmv-miR-UL22A-5p in human plasma. In this retrospective observational study, the assay is used on archived plasma samples collected from patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The purpose is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of this method in identifying CMV reactivation, compared to standard CMV DNA qPCR testing. This test was not assigned or administered as part of patient care but is the primary focus of retrospective laboratory analysis.
