human cytomegalovirus: infections and diagnosis
Authors
abstract
human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) is a ubiquitous virus whose sole host is humans. since hcmv can contagion from person to person through numerous ways, vast populations of humans are infected. hcmv infections can potentially have a range from asymptomatic infection in immuno-competent hosts to life-threatening diseases in organ recipients and patients with aids. the present article reviews the occurrence of hcmv infections and diseases in humans with different physiological and immunological status, and evaluates the existing laboratory methods for diagnosis of the disease

full textDiagnosis of gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus infections: an imperfect science.
Infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality following solid organ transplantation (SOT) [1–3]. CMV causes a range of infections in SOT recipients, from asymptomatic viremia, to CMV syndrome, which is characterized by fever, malaise, and cytopenias, to tissue-invasive disease [3]. The patients at highest risk for CMV infection are CMV-negative recipients...
full textCytomegalovirus-specific lymphocyte proliferation and in vitro cytomegalovirus IgG synthesis for diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infections after bone marrow transplantation.
With new techniques 19 bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients were monitored for lymphocyte proliferation and specific IgG production in vitro by cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen in solid phase. Twelve patients got a reactivated CMV infection as defined by virus isolation or serum IgG conversion. Lymphocyte proliferation and in vitro IgG production responses were significantly stronger in these 1...

With new techniques 1 9 bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients were monitored for lymphocyte proliferation and specific lgG production in vitro by cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen in solid phase. Twelve patients got a reactivated CMV infection as defined by virus isolation or serum lgG conversion. Lymphocyte proliferation and in vitro lgG production responses were significantly stronger in these ...

complementary activity above 1:20 occurred in 34% (29/86) of the sera tested from the infected group in contrast to 7.5% (3/40) in the controls (P < 0.005). When assayed by means of a lymphoblastoid cell line (Raji cell test), the reactivity in these groups was 45 (39/86) and 2.7% (1/36), respectively (P < 0.001). Correlation of results between these two complement-dependent assays occurred in ...
