Viral infections are important causes of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic stem cell hematopoietic transplantation (allo-HSCT). Although most viral infections present with asymptomatic or subclinical manifestations, viruses may result in fatal complications in severe immunocompromised recipients. Reactivation of latent viruses, such as herpesviruses, is frequent during the immunosuppress...

mosquito borne infectious diseases are among important group of diseases worldwide. vaccination is available for some tropical mosquito-borne diseases, especially for japa-nese encephalitis virus infection and yellow fever. there are also several attempts to develop new vaccines for the other mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue infection and west nile virus infection. in this articl...

host genetic factors play a central role in determining the clinical phenotype of human diseases. association between two polymorphic loci in human genome, human leukocyte antigen (hla) and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (kirs), and genetically complex infectious disease, particularly those of viral etiology, have been historically elusive. hence, defining the influence of genetic di...

Viral and bacterial respiratory tract infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite the development of vaccines and potent antibiotics. Frequently, viruses and bacteria can co-infect the same host, resulting in heightened pathology and severity of illness compared to single infections. Bacterial superinfections have been a significant cause of death during every i...

Objective: Many patients suffering from viral infections attend to health care centers. Data gathered from viral infections is limited to specific cases such as AIDS, viral hepatitis and Influenza. There is a significant lack of reliable documentation about other viral infections. In this study the prevalence and related costs of viral infections in hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sci...

Some of the dermatological viral infections occur primarily in childhood, and are referred to as classic childhood infectious diseases. The incidence appearance primary skin may also differ from adult variant. In our paper, we summarized infections, diseases infancy later stages childhood. Tentatively, mention other, not classically, infections.
