Frequency of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in benign and malignant tumors
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread pathogen that is found in milk, saliva, urine, cervical secretions, and semen fluid. It is supposed that CMV is a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of CMV among benign and malignant breast tumors. Paraffin embedded breast carcinoma (n=24) and fibroadenoma (n=24) samples were collected from Toos and Firoozgar...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus (CMV) Encephalitis in HIV Patients
It is hypothesized that impaired CD4 cell functioning is attributable to viral replication. Most cases of CMV encephalitis occur when CD4 counts fall below 50, however patients may be predisposed to CMV infection prior to depletion of CD4 [1]. Previous opportunistic infections (OIs), a high level of CMV viremia, and high plasma HIV RNA levels (>100,000 copies/mL) are other reported risk factors...
متن کاملTargeting cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigens for GBM immunotherapy
Despite aggressive and incapacitating conventional therapy, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains uniformly lethal. Immunotherapy in which the immune system (particularly cellular effectors such as T cells) is harnessed to specifically attack malignant cells offers a treatment option with less toxicity. The presence of CMV antigens in GBM, and not in normal brain tissue presents a unique opport...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus (CMV) blood DNA load, CMV retinitis progression, and occurrence of resistant CMV in patients with CMV retinitis.
BACKGROUND The amount of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in the blood (CMV load) may be a marker for detection of resistant CMV.METHODS. A total of 165 patients with AIDS and CMV retinitis had CMV load measurements (plasma and leukocyte) and cultures performed every 3 months; these measurements were correlated with CMV resistance to antiviral drugs and CMV retinitis progression (from masked readings ...
متن کاملA multisite trial comparing two cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 antigenemia test kits, biotest CMV brite and Bartels/Argene CMV antigenemia.
A total of 513 blood specimens, predominantly from organ transplant recipients, human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients, and bone marrow transplant recipients, were tested for cytomegalovirus (CMV) by culture and pp65 antigenemia across four test sites. Peripheral blood leukocytes were examined by using both the Biotest CMV Brite and the Bartels/Argene CMV Antigenemia kits. A total of 10...
