متن کاملGanciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus disease in heart transplant recipients: the dilemma of donor-positive/recipient-negative serostatus.
In the early days of heart transplantation, cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease was frequent and often severe. The development of strategies to prevent CMV disease has had a major beneficial effect [1, 2], but problems still remain. Traditionally, patients with donor-seropositive (D+)/recip-ient-seronegative (RϪ) status have had the highest risk of high viral loads, tissue-invasive disease, and ganci...
متن کاملViral infection in the renal transplant recipient.
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 ...

With the present progress in transplantation procedures, there is an improvement in patient and allograft survival. However, the immunosuppression necessary to sustain the allograft predisposes these transplant recipients to infection, which is now a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. We describe a case of a 30-year-old renal transplant recipient with two opportunistic infections, na...
