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 Since early 60's that Cytomegalovirus was studied for its possible role in cervical cancer development. Despite several decades of studies and the description of CMV DNA in cervical samples, it is still doubtful what is the prevalence of Cytomegalovirus in cervix and if CMV can act as a co-factor in cervical carcinogenesis. METHODS In this Systematic Review we intend to summarize t...

results serum samples of 2049 females were analyzed, and 1814(%88.53) seropositive, 170 (8.29%) seronegative, 65 (3.17%) current infection were detected. conclusion findings showed that there was not a suitable programmed management or a confirmed diagnostic technique in our scientific society for the prevention of some of the side effects of cmv infection in fetus of pregnant women. for these ...

serum samples from 201 hiv positive patients were collected to determine the seroprevalence of cmv infection in iranian hiv infected patients during march 2004 until march 2005 using conventional elisa kits. an antibody level of >1.1 iu/ml was considered positive. the seroprevalence of cmv infection was 94%.the maximum prevalence of cmv antibody was seen in patients with unsafe sex and idus. pr...

background: cytomegalovirus (cmv) disease is an important cause of death and possibly transplant rejection in kidney transplant (kt) patients. this study was conducted to investigate the incidence and risk factors of cmv disease in kidney transplant patients. methods: all end-stage renal disease (esrd) patients who underwent kidney transplantation during 1998-2014 and their donors were assessed...

BACKGROUND It is well known that cytomegalovirus esophagitis occurs in immunosuppressed patients. However, few reports have described cytomegalovirus esophagitis occurring during chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer. CASE PRESENTATION We report two cases of patients with cytomegalovirus esophagitis that developed during chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer. Cytomegalovirus esophagitis w...

BACKGROUND Cases of cytomegalovirus colitis are exceptionally reported in immuno-competent infant. The pathogenesis is uncertain but breast-feeding is considered as a main source of postnatal infection. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report a full-term, formula-fed infant who developed a severe cytomegalovirus anaemia and colitis when aged 2 months. CONCLUSION Even if the molecular identity betw...

The clearance of cytomegalovirus viraemia in HIV-1-infected patients may partly result from the inhibition of cytomegalovirus protease by HIV-1 protease inhibitors contained in highly active antiretroviral therapy. We used a computational method to calculate the binding affinity of six HIV-1 protease inhibitors to cytomegalovirus protease based on its X-ray crystallography structure. The calcul...

recently, using polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technique, the dna of cytomegalovirus was detected from depigmented white patches in patients with vitiligo. the reactivation of infection and occasional anti-cmv igm circulating among patients infected by cytomegalovirus has been reported for years. we have studied 26 patients with clinical signs and symptoms of vitiligo, some of whom had a histo...
