INTRODUCTION We present a case of an unusual clinical manifestation of Guillain-Barre syndrome following a pre-existing herpes virus infection. Although there have been several reports describing the co-existence of herpes virus infection and Guillain-Barre syndrome, we undertook a more in-depth study of the cross-reactivity between herpes viruses and recommend a follow-up study based on serolo...

Infection with Epstein-Barr virus is the trigger for development of multiple sclerosis

epstein-barr virus (ebv) was discovered 50 years ago from an african burkitt lymphoma cell line. ebv-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (lpds) are life-threatening diseases, especially in children. in this article, we review ebv-associated lpds, especially in the area of primary immunodeficiency disease (pid). we searched pubmed for publications with key words including ebv infection, lym...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and viral load of epstein–barr virus (ebv) and human herpesvirus‑6 (hhv‑6) in different histopathologic grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc). methods: forty‑five formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded tissue section of oscc patients were analyzed by quantitative real‑time polymerase chain reaction for detection of ebv and hhv‑...

Diagnostic implications of human cytomegalovirus immediate early-1 and pp67 mRNA detection in whole-blood samples from liver transplant patients using nucleic acid sequence-based amplification. Development of reverse transcriptase PCR assays for detection of active human herpesvirus 6 infec...

The viral infections with greatest impact on the renal transplant recipient are those due to cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and the two hepatitis viruses, hepatitis B and C. All of these are modulated by the administered immunosuppressive therapy, and all have both direct and indirect effects on the transplant patient. The direct effects are the infectious disease clinical syndromes that ...

background: among the eight known human herpes viruses, epstein- barr virus (ebv) is considered to be sexually transmissible. this study was conducted to evaluate the seroepidemiology of this infection in married and unmarried iranian couples. methods: in this comparative observational and cross-sectional study, 160 men and women were divided into married and unmarried groups. serum igg and igm...

opportunistic infections are the leading cause of hospitalization and morbidity in human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) positive patients and are the most common cause of death between them. we aimed to measure igg antibody against ebv viral capsid antigen (ebv-vca igg) to determine the seroprevalence of this infection in hiv-positive population. a case-control study between september 2011 and oc...

introduction: quantification of epstein - barr virus (ebv) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmnc) of allogenic bone marrow transplant (bmt) recipients is important because ebv-associated posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (ptld) can occur after transplantation due to immunosup-pression therapy. methods: to this end we chose real-time pcr using taqman probe. for the standard curve...
