Adenovirus infections in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients.
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are an important cause of infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals, and they continue to provide clinical challenges pertaining to diagnostics and treatment. The growing number of HAdV types identified by genomic analysis, as well as the improved understanding of the sites of viral persistence and reactivation, requires continuous adaptions...

Paecilomyces sp, is a saprophytic fungus which has rarely been associated with human disease. We report the first case of invasive subcutaneous infection caused by this fungus in a 78-year-old female from Damghan, Iran, with diabetes and chronic renal failure. A biopsy provided an initial diagnosis of the mold in tissue. Multiple positive fungal cultures which were obtained from the biopsie...
متن کاملAdenovirus as an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients.
Adenoviruses are non-enveloped, lytic, DNA viruses capable of infecting most animal species. There are 51 different human adenovirus serotypes, which are grouped from A to F on the basis of genome size, composition, homology and organization. Pathogenicity varies according to group and type, but infections are generally well controlled by the host immune system in immunocompetent individuals. H...

of symptoms, and the late onset ofthe vesicular rash. As a result of our experience in this case we recommend that varicella zoster antibodies should be measured in all patients receiving methotrexate and, if the result is negative, patients should be advised to seek medical attention when there is contact with chickenpox so that passive immunisation with varicella zos-ter immunoglobulins can b...
متن کاملHuman adenovirus detection among immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients presenting acute respiratory infection.
INTRODUCTION Human adenoviruses (HAdV) play an important role in the aetiology of severe acute lower respiratory infection, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The aim of the present study was to detect HAdV using two different methods, direct fluorescence assay (DFA) and nested polymerase chain reaction (nested PCR), in samples collected from patients with acute groups from 2001 to 20...
