The Role of Exosomes in Myeloid and Lymphoid Blood Malignancies: A Systematic Review Article
Background and Aim: Blood malignancies, one of the most common cancers in the world, cause a large number of deaths each year. Many inherited and acquired factors are involved in the development of this disease. Exosomes are a very small model of cells that are secreted by most cells in the body under physiological and pathological conditions. On the other hand, they have found a special place ...
متن کاملSensitivity of the Cytomegalovirus Antigenemia Assay to Diagnose Cytomegalovirus Retinitis
BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is one of the most important tissue-invasive CMV diseases in immunocompromised patients. Since 1980, non-invasive diagnostic methods, notably the CMV antigenemia assay, have been widely used as adjunct tests to diagnose tissue-invasive CMV diseases. However, there are limited data on the diagnostic value of the CMV antigenemia assay for diagnosing CMV ...
متن کاملPP65 antigenemia in the diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection in AIDS patients
Cytomegalovirus causes significant morbidity and mortality in AIDS patients and those having undergone bone marrow or another transplant. PP65 antigenemia is based on detecting viral antigen in peripheral blood leukocytes through immunochemistry and by monitoring the infection in immunocompromised individuals. The present study aimed to set up this diagnostic technique in AIDS patients with act...
متن کاملDiagnostic performance of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia assay in patients with CMV gastrointestinal disease.
Of 149 patients with suspected cytomegalovirus (CMV) gastrointestinal disease, 51 (36%) confirmed cases, 6 (4%) probable cases, and 64 (45%) instances of non-CMV gastrointestinal disease were analyzed using the CMV antigenemia assay; 22 patients (5%) with indeterminate gastrointestinal disease were excluded. The sensitivity and specificity of the CMV antigenemia assay (defined as detection of >...
متن کاملUsefulness of the Cytomegalovirus Antigenemia Assay in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
BACKGROUND/AIMS Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at high risk for cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation. The usefulness of the CMV antigenemia assay in active UC patients has rarely been studied. We assessed whether the assay detects CMV colitis and predicts clinical outcomes in patients with UC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients hospitalized for modera...
