Torque 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...
متن کاملTorque teno virus among dialysis and renal-transplant patients
Patients who undergo dialysis treatment or a renal transplant have a high risk of blood-borne viral infections, including the Torque teno virus (TTV). This study identified the presence of TTV and its genome groups in blood samples from 118 patients in dialysis and 50 renal-transplant recipients. The research was conducted in a hospital in the city of Maringá, state of Paraná. The viral DNA, ob...
متن کاملTorque Teno Virus: any pathological role in liver transplanted patients?
Few studies have been performed on the prevalence of Torque Teno Virus (TTV) infection in liver transplant (LT) recipients. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, viremia and genogroup pattern of TTV among LT patients and to ascertain whether TTV causes liver damage in liver transplanted patients with biochemical and histological changes of unknown origin. Twenty-five patients were...
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: 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...
