The objectives of the study were to assess the utility of dried blood spots (DBS) for the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibody and viremia in a resource-poor setting, to study the prevalence of CMV antibody and viremia in HIV-infected patients with access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Tanzania, and to relate CMV viremia to outcome.
