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...

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 کاملMicrobiology and Infectious Disease / BCG INFECTIONS IN IMMUNOCOMPETENT AND IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENTS Pathologic Findings for Bacille Calmette-Guérin Infections in Immunocompetent and Immunocompromised Patients
The pathologic findings from biopsy specimens from 9 patients with postvaccination bacille CalmetteGuérin (BCG) infection are presented. The patients were vaccinated with BCG during the first 2 days of life. Four patients had normal immunity and 5 patients were immunocompromised. The pathologic findings in both groups were different. Biopsy specimens from patients with normal immunity showed mu...
متن کاملAdenovirus Infections in the Immunocompetent Host
Adenoviruses are nonenveloped doublestranded DNA viruses that were fi rst isolated from adenoidal cells in 1953 as part of a project searching for the virus causing the common cold. There are currently 57 recognized serotypes of human adenovirus, which can be divided into the subgroups (or species) A to G. There is tropism among these subgroups, with subgroups A and F typically causing infectio...
متن کامل2009H1N1 Influenza in Immunocompetent and Immunocompromised Patients
The treatment and prevention of influenza virus infection has been associated with two major challenges that are exemplified by 2009H1N1 as well as previous pandemics. The constant evolutionary pressure on the influenza virus can result in novel strains which may not be optimally protected by vaccines or currently approved antivirals. Selection for antiviral resistance mutations can occur over ...
