High incidence of cytomegalovirus reactivation in adult recipients of an unrelated cord blood transplant.

چکیده
This retrospective analysis of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seropositive adult transplant recipients showed that CMV antigenemia occurred after transplantation in 10/10 (100%) recipients of unrelated cord blood, 17/39 (43%) recipients of a related matched donor graft, 16/23 (79%) recipients of an unrelated matched donor graft, and 8/12 (67%) recipients of a mismatched related donor graft. These results suggest that unrelated cord blood transplantation itself may be correlated with a high incidence of CMV reactivation.

Antiviral agents for preventing cytomegalovirus infection in pediatric renal transplant recipients: A systematic review
Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are associated with severe morbidity and mortality in patients, especially pediatric renal transplantation patients. The use of immunosuppressive agents places these patients at the risk of viral infections. As cytomegalovirus infection influences the graft outcome, adopting useful strategies for limiting this virus after transplantatio...

Background: Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections are a significant challenge in patients with Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT). Acute Graft vs. Host (GVHD) is recognized as a predisposing factor for increased incidence of HCMV reactivation. Availability of rapid and accurate tests for HCMV detection in HCT recipients is of foremost importance in developing countries, such as Iran. Method...
متن کاملDetection Of Toxoplasma Gondii and Human Cytomegalovirus DNA in Blood from Transplant Recipients Using Multiplex Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction
Evidences from many studies suggested a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as a valuable method for diagnosing infectious disease in the transplant recipients. We used this method for detection of Toxoplasma, gondii and human cytomegalovirus in blood specimens from patients after bone marrow or kidney transplantation. DNA of both infectious agents were detected using two separate sets of nested pr...

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains the most common infection affecting organ transplant recipients. Despite advances in the prophylaxis and acute treatment of CMV, it remains an important pathogen affecting the short- and long-term clinical outcome of solid organ transplant recipient. The emergence of CMV resistance in a patient reduces the clinical efficacy of antiviral therapy, complicates t...
