Torque teno virus: a ubiquitous virus
Torque teno virus (TTV) is a non-enveloped human DNA virus isolated by Nishizawa et al. in 1997.1 TTV, recently classified as the Alphatorquevirus genus within the Anelloviridae family by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), was the first human virus with a single-stranded circular DNA genome to be identified.2 Thus far, five main genetic groups (Groups 1–5) involving at l...

متن کاملTorque Teno Virus (TTV) Infection
TTV has been recently identified as a causative agent of non-A to non-G hepatitis. However, the exact role of this virus in the pathogenesis of chronic liver disease (CLD) and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain controversial. To clarify these issues, the prevalence of this virus and its impact on the severity of liver disease and development of HCC among Egyptian patients ...

متن کاملTorque Teno virus viremia correlates with intensity of maintenance immunosuppression in adult orthotopic liver transplant.
TO THE EDITOR—We read with interest the recent article by Béland et al, detailing torque teno virus (TTV) kinetics in pediatric orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients [1]. Interestingly, the authors show that TTV load increased with the number of immunosuppressive agents received. TTV viremia, which is normally at about 2 log10 in healthy subjects, has been shown to increase (up to 4 log1...
