Cytomegalic inclusion disease is a common complication in recipients of organ transplants. In renal transplant recipients, the disease involves the lungs more often than it does the gastrointestinal tract. We report on a recipient of a cadaveric kidney who had cytomegalic inclusion disease that involved both the upper and lower gastro-intestinal tract, and massive gastro-intestinal bleeding tha...

Consumers increasingly require innovative food products with health benefits. Thus, a dried orange juice incorporating probiotics could be a novel challenge. In this context, we investigated whether different sugars added to the culture media used for growth of two lactic acid bacteria contributed to their protection during spray drying in orange juice and subsequent storage under different con...

The hypothesis that elimination of facultative and strict anaerobic microorganisms from the gastro-intestinal tract by antimicrobial drugs in the period of time around allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) prevents acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), was examined in a cohort of 112 children grafted between 1989 and 2002 for hematological malignancies. All patients received T-cell rep...
