Prevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 infections in renal transplant recipients and their renal function
Background and Objectives: Viral infections are a major problem for transplant recipients. Reactivation of viruses is associated with the use of strong immunosuppressive drugs. Herpes simplex virus infections in renal transplant patients may become severe without treatment. Although the prevalence and role of herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 in bone marrow and lung recipients are well known; howe...
متن کاملThe relationship of graft survival and herpes simplex virus latency in recipient corneal buttons
PURPOSE To demonstrate relationship between herpes simplex virus (HSV) corneal latency and graft survival. METHODS Prospective case control study. 28 recipient corneal buttons and donor cornea-scleral remnants were examined for HSV DNA with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). None of the recipient had a history of HSV infection. Serum samples of graft recipients were analyzed for the presence of...
متن کاملTzanck smears in herpes simplex virus infections
Background: The diagnosis of herpes simplex virus may requirevirological confirmation. Tzanck smear is an old, rapid, costeffective but nonspecific method that has been recently re-evaluatedas a method for the diagnosis of herpes virus infection. This studywas conducted to compare Tzanck smear and viral culture in thediagnosis of herpes simplex virus infection in patients clinicallysuspected to...
متن کاملRecombinant CD40L treatment protects allogeneic murine bone marrow transplant recipients from death caused by herpes simplex virus-1 infection.
Posttransplant infection associated with host immune deficiency is the major cause of nonrelapse mortality of human bone marrow transplant recipients. In a new murine model of posttransplant infection, allogeneic bone marrow transplant recipients were infected with herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) via intraperitoneal inoculation 12 weeks after transplantation. Allogeneic transplant recipients wit...
متن کاملA prospective study of cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus disease in renal transplant recipients.
A prospective study of 84 renal graft recipients demonstrated cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease after transplantation in 37% of patients. Reactivation infection was found in 20 of 44 patients (46%) who were seropositive for CMV prior to transplant and primary CMV disease occurred in 11 of 40 (28%) initially seronegative patients. Nearly all cases of primary disease (91%) were associated with sympto...
متن کاملHerpes viruses and tumours in kidney transplant recipients. The role of immunosuppression.
Herpes virus infections are frequent in renal transplant recipients. Some herpes viruses are not only responsible for life-threatening infections and renal graft injury but can also increase the risk of malignancy. Three herpes viruses, namely cytomegalovirus (CMV) or human herpes virus 5, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or herpes virus 4 and human herpes virus 8 (HHV8), may play an oncogenic role. Th...
