Abstract Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a virus that can be consider as invasive infection after transplantation or chemotherapy, long-term corticosteroid users or in immunodeficient patients such as HIV. Different complications were seen in immunocompetent patients but colitis rarely occurs. The diagnosis of CMV was based on pathology by colonoscopy, positive CMV antigen and high CMV-IgM titer serum...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) serological status of transplant donors and recipients has important implications on antiviral prophylaxis, morbidity/mortality, donor selection and hospital stay. We evaluated CMV prevalence in our islet transplant candidates (ITC) in comparison with organ donors. We correlated the CMV serological status of our ITC with serology for Epstein-Barr virus and Parvovirus B19, ...

BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus causes congenital infections all around the world. The seroepidemiology of cytomegalovirus infection in pregnant women in Mexico is largely unknown. We sought to determine the seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus infection in pregnant women in Durango City, Mexico; and to determine seroprevalence association with socio-demographic, clinical and behavioral characteristics...

SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic of an acute respiratory illness known as COVID-19. Patients with solid organ transplants receiving chronic immunosuppressive therapy are at risk severe disease by opportunistic pathogens, including cytomegalovirus (CMV). We present the case renal transplant recipient presenting hypoxic failure because COVID-19, whose course was complicated ganciclovir-res...

CMV: cytomegalovirus PCR: polymerase chain reaction INTRODUCTION Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) serology is positive in nearly two-thirds of individuals in the United States, but cutaneous manifestations of infection are exceedingly rare. To our knowledge, few cases of CMV-induced cutaneous manifestations have been reported and most commonly occur in immunocompromised populations. Here we report a...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes clinical issues primarily in immune-suppressed conditions. CMV-associated anterior uveitis (CMV-AU) is a notable new disease entity manifesting recurrent ocular inflammation immunocompetent individuals. As patient demographics indicated contributions from genetic background and immunosenescence as possible underlying pathological mechanisms, we analyzed the immunoge...

BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus damage to the eye is leading cause of loss visual functions associated with HIV. Effective treatment HIV-infected patients has changed understanding clinical picture cytomegalovirus uveitis (CMV-uveitis).
 AIM: The aim work determine prevalence, structure forms and evaluate in CMV-uveitis.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: study group consisted 66 CMV-uveitis (97 eye...

Cytomegalovirus is the most important pathogen affecting transplant recipients and causing significant morbidity and morbidity. The prevalence of CMV  infections in transplant recipient varies from country to country.  The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of PCR assay for CMV  detection in patients before Keratoplasty.  A total of 23 patient samples en...
