Differential decay kinetics of human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B genotypes following antiviral chemotherapy☆
BACKGROUND The impact of different cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoprotein B (gB) genotypes on pathogenesis remains controversial. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of gB genotypes either as single infections or as part of multiple infections on the early kinetics of response to ganciclovir therapy. METHODS Patients (n=239) enrolled in a study of intravenous ganciclovir or valganciclovir for...
متن کاملMixed glycoprotein B genotypes of cytomegalovirus and immunosuppression.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains the most significant infection affecting the outcome of solid-organ trans-plantation or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). CMV infection causes febrile illness and end-organ disease and has been implicated indirectly in other clinically relevant outcomes. CMV infection has been shown to reduce patient survival and graft success rates and to i...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus glycoprotein B genotypes in Mexican children and women.
OBJECTIVE Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is widely distributed and constitutes the main cause of congenital infections worldwide. CMV transmission during pregnancy represents one of the major impacts of this virus on public health. This study aimed at assessing glycoprotein B (gB) CMV genotypes in Mexican children and pregnant women, since there is limited information regarding CMV genomic diversity in ...
متن کاملMixed cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B genotypes in immunocompromised patients.
On the basis of sequence variation in the UL55 gene that encodes glycoprotein B (gB), human cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be classified into 4 gB genotypes. The goal of the present study was to determine the distribution of CMV gB genotypes and the effect of gB type on clinical outcomes in a cohort of immunocompromised patients, including both transplant recipients and nonrecipients. The distributi...
متن کاملOccurrence of Human Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B Genotypes in Immunocompetent and Immunosuppressed Taiwanese Patients
Objectives: To investigate the differences of genotypic distributions among isolates between immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients in a Taiwanese population. Methods: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) isolates from 76 patients with adequate chart data were analyzed. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to define gB genotypes which include gB1...
