متن کاملGanciclovir for invasive cytomegalovirus infection in renal allograft recipients.
CYTOMEGALOVIRUS (CMV) is a major infectious complication of renal transplantation associated with significant morbidity and mortality. 1-3 Ganciclovir inhibits herpesvirus DNA polymerase4 and has shown antiviraJ effects in vivo in several reported clinical studies. 5-8 We report our experience with the use of ganciclovir in treating tissue-invasive CMV infection following cadaver renal transpla...
متن کاملDoes cytomegalovirus cause glomerular injury in renal allograft recipients?
The case of a 16-yr-old woman who received an ABO-incompatible renal allograft for end-stage renal disease due to membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type I is presented. The patient's posttransplant course was complicated by cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and the rare finding of glomerular CMV inclusions on renal biopsy. This article focuses on the pathology and pathogenesis of glomerula...
متن کاملGuidance of ganciclovir therapy with pp65 antigenemia in cytomegalovirus-free recipients of livers from seropositive donors.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV*), the first reported transplantassociated opportunistic virus (1), has remained the most frequent single cause or co-cause ofinfections throughout the ensuing three decades (2). Because prophylactic drug and hyperimmune globulin therapy has not been effective in these CMV-infected patients (2-4), Rubin (5) suggested withholding treatment until the phase of rapid viral repl...
