cytomegaloviurs (cmv) is the most frequent cause of congenital infection in humans. in various parts of the world the prevalence of antibodies to cmv ranges from 40-100%. the prevalence of primary infection with cmv in pregnant iranian women and risk of congenital cmv infection in their neonates are unknown. to determine the prevalence of cmv infection in primiparous pregnant (youner) women and...

Background Beta-thalassemia patients receive blood products from blood transfusion centers repeatedly. Blood transfusion can transmit Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Toxoplasma gondii. The aim of this study was serological evaluation of these two infectious agents in thalassemia patients. Materials and Methods In a cross-sectional study, the enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing was pe...

Purpose We hereby describe a case of persistent cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia and retinitis following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) that was successfully treated with infusion CMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) despite previous treatment Epstein Bar Virus (EBV) -specific CTL, which occurred 5 months earlier. Observations Following several anti- viral medication tri...

BACKGROUND Cases of cytomegalovirus colitis are exceptionally reported in immuno-competent infant. The pathogenesis is uncertain but breast-feeding is considered as a main source of postnatal infection. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report a full-term, formula-fed infant who developed a severe cytomegalovirus anaemia and colitis when aged 2 months. CONCLUSION Even if the molecular identity betw...

Recently, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, the DNA of cytomegalovirus was detected from depigmented white patches in patients with vitiligo. The reactivation of infection and occasional anti-CMV IgM circulating among patients infected by cytomegalovirus has been reported for years. We have studied 26 patients with clinical signs and symptoms of vitiligo, some of whom had a ...

Background: Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) can be associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, besides induced by drugs. We report a case of DIHS prolonged atypical clinical features and vasculitis precipitated drug allergy, CMV, other viral infections.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective method for the treatment of hematological malignancies, severe aplastic anemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes. The most common infectious complication after HSCT cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. purpose this study was to analyze status research related CMV infection by conducting a literature search CMV, hematopoietic, t...
