Chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia pneumoniae, or cytomegalovirus: population based study of coronary heart disease. (1/3452)

OBJECTIVE: To study possible associations between coronary heart disease and serological evidence of persistent infection with Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia pneumoniae, or cytomegalovirus. DESIGN: Population based, case-control study, nested within a randomised trial. SETTING: Five general practices in Bedfordshire, UK. INDIVIDUALS: 288 patients with incident or prevalent coronary heart disease and 704 age and sex matched controls. RESULTS: High concentrations of serum IgG antibodies to H pylori were present in 54% of cases v 46% of controls, with corresponding results for C pneumoniae seropositivity (33% v 33%), and cytomegalovirus seropositivity (40% v 31%). After adjustments for age, sex, smoking, indicators of socioeconomic status, and standard risk factors, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for coronary heart disease of seropositivity to these agents were: 1.28 (0.93 to 1.75) for H pylori, 0.95 (0.66 to 1.36) for C pneumoniae, and 1.40 (0.96 to 2. 05) for cytomegalovirus. CONCLUSIONS: There is no good evidence of strong associations between coronary heart disease and serological markers of persistent infection with H pylori, C pneumoniae, or cytomegalovirus. To determine the existence of moderate associations between these agents and disease, however, larger scale studies will be needed that can keep residual confounders to a minimum.  (+info)

The clinical utility of CMV surveillance cultures and antigenemia following bone marrow transplantation. (2/3452)

At our institution, the cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis protocol for allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients who are CMV-seropositive or receive marrow from a CMV-seropositive donor consists of a surveillance bronchoscopy approximately 35 days posttransplant. Patients with a positive surveillance bronchoscopy for CMV receive pre-emptive ganciclovir. In order to determine the utility of other screening methods for CMV, we prospectively performed weekly CMV antigenemia, and blood, urine and throat cultures from time of engraftment to day 120 post-BMT in 126 consecutive patients. Pre-emptive ganciclovir was given to 11/81 patients (13.6%) because of a positive surveillance bronchoscopy for CMV. Results of CMV blood, urine and throat cultures and the antigenemia assay done prior to or at the time of the surveillance bronchoscopy were analyzed for their ability to predict the bronchoscopy result. The antigenemia test had the highest positive and negative predictive values (72% and 96%, respectively). The ability of these tests to predict CMV disease was evaluated in the 70 patients with a negative surveillance bronchoscopy who did not receive pre-emptive ganciclovir. Of 19 cases of active CMV disease, CMV antigenemia was positive in 15 patients (79%) a mean of 34 days preceding symptoms. Blood cultures were positive in 14/19 patients (74%) a mean of 31 days before onset of disease. CMV antigenemia is useful for predicting the surveillance bronchoscopy result, and also predicts the development of CMV disease in the majority of patients missed by the surveillance bronchoscopy.  (+info)

Cytomegalovirus associated neonatal pneumonia and Wilson-Mikity syndrome: a causal relationship? (3/3452)

Lung injury caused by intrauterine inflammation has recently been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of Wilson-Mikity syndrome (WMS). This article supports this theory by suggesting a causative role of intrauterine cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection for the development of WMS. A male premature infant, born at 33 weeks of gestational age, developed chronic lung disease compatible with WMS and diagnostic evaluation was positive for CMV infection. High-resolution computed tomography scan and lung histology revealed typical features of WMS in association with signs of interstitial pneumonia. CMV was found in urine, breastmilk, bronchoalveolar lavage material and lung tissue from open lung biopsy. Follow-up after treatment with ganciclovir and steroids showed resolving lung disease at the age of 6, 10 and 16 months, with lung function signs of mild obstruction. Assuming that a chance coexistence of cytomegalovirus pneumonia and Wilson-Mikity syndrome is rather unlikely, it is possible that intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection caused a pattern of lung injury consistent with Wilson-Mikity syndrome. Further cases of Wilson-Mikity syndrome should be investigated as to a possible role of congenital infection.  (+info)

Qualitative and semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction testing for cytomegalovirus DNA in serum allows prediction of CMV related disease in liver transplant recipients. (4/3452)

AIM: To identify cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in liver transplant recipients by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques and to separate the cases in which CMV related disease will occur, for whom treatment is indicated, from those in whom infection will remain innocuous. METHODS: The combination of qualitative and semiquantitative PCR of serum and urine was assessed to determine whether these assays can identify those at risk of CMV related disease and compared their performance with conventional approaches to diagnosis. RESULTS: Qualitative PCR of serum had superior specificity, sensitivity, and positive and negative predictive values compared with urine DEAFF (detection of early antigen fluorescent foci) and PCR of urine. All episodes of CMV related disease were associated with the presence of CMV DNA by PCR in serum or urine; CMV was detected before clinical onset in 70% and 60% of cases, respectively. The period over which CMV DNA could be detected was not correlated with CMV related disease. Both peak viral load and cumulative viral load estimated using a semiquantitative PCR method on serum samples positive by the qualitative method could be used to distinguish asymptomatic infection from CMV related disease with 100% specificity and sensitivity. In contrast semiquantitative PCR of urine was of little value. CONCLUSIONS: An approach based on PCR testing with a combination of qualitative and subsequently semiquantitative serum samples would improve the diagnosis of CMV infection and aid identification of those patients at risk of CMV related disease, allowing treatment to be targeted specifically.  (+info)

Effects of human cytomegalovirus major immediate-early proteins in controlling the cell cycle and inhibiting apoptosis: studies with ts13 cells. (5/3452)

The major immediate-early (MIE) gene of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes several MIE proteins (MIEPs) produced as a result of alternative splicing and polyadenylation of the primary transcript. Previously we demonstrated that the HCMV MIEPs expressed from the entire MIE gene could rescue the temperature-sensitive (ts) transcriptional defect in the ts13 cell line. This defect is caused by a ts mutation in TAFII250, the 250-kDa TATA binding protein-associated factor (TAF). These and other data suggested that the MIEPs perform a TAF-like function in complex with the basal transcription factor TFIID. In addition to the transcriptional defect, the ts mutation in ts13 cells results in a defect in cell cycle progression which ultimately leads to apoptosis. Since all of these defects can be rescued by wild-type TAFII250, we asked whether the MIEPs could rescue the cell cycle defect and/or affect the progression to apoptosis. We have found that the MIEPs, expressed from the entire MIE gene, do not rescue the cell cycle block in ts13 cells grown at the nonpermissive temperature. However, despite the maintenance of the cell cycle block, the ts13 cells which express the MIEPs are resistant to apoptosis. MIEP mutants, which have previously been shown to be defective in rescuing the ts transcriptional defect, maintained the ability to inhibit apoptosis. Hence, the MIEP functions which affect transcription appear to be separable from the functions which inhibit apoptosis. We discuss these data in the light of the HCMV life cycle and the possibility that the MIEPs promote cellular transformation by a "hit-and-run" mechanism.  (+info)

Clinical significance of expression of human cytomegalovirus pp67 late transcript in heart, lung, and bone marrow transplant recipients as determined by nucleic acid sequence-based amplification. (6/3452)

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection was monitored retrospectively by qualitative determination of pp67 mRNA (a late viral transcript) by nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) in a series of 50 transplant recipients, including 26 solid-organ (11 heart and 15 lung) transplant recipients (SOTRs) and 24 bone marrow transplant recipients (BMTRs). NASBA results were compared with those obtained by prospective quantitation of HCMV viremia and antigenemia and retrospective quantitation of DNA in leukocytes (leukoDNAemia). On the whole, 29 patients were NASBA positive, whereas 10 were NASBA negative, and the blood of 11 patients remained HCMV negative. NASBA detected HCMV infection before quantitation of viremia did but after quantitation of leukoDNAemia and antigenemia did. In NASBA-positive blood samples, median levels of viremia, antigenemia, and leukoDNAemia were significantly higher than the relevant levels detected in NASBA-negative HCMV-positive blood samples. By using the quantitation of leukoDNAemia as the "gold standard," the analytical sensitivity (47.3%), as well as the negative predictive value (68. 3%), of NASBA for the diagnosis of HCMV infection intermediate between that of antigenemia quantitation (analytical sensitivity, 72. 3%) and that of viremia quantitation (analytical sensitivity, 28.7%), while the specificity and the positive predictive value were high (90 to 100%). However, with respect to the clinically relevant antigenemia cutoff of >/=100 used in this study for the initiation of preemptive therapy in SOTRs with reactivated HCMV infection, the clinical sensitivity of NASBA reached 100%, with a specificity of 68. 9%. Upon the initiation of antigenemia quantitation-guided treatment, the actual median antigenemia level was 158 (range, 124 to 580) in SOTRs who had reactivated infection and who presented with NASBA positivity 3.5 +/- 2.6 days in advance and 13.5 (range, 1 to 270) in the group that included BMTRs and SOTRs who had primary infection (in whom treatment was initiated upon the first confirmation of detection of HCMV in blood) and who presented with NASBA positivity 2.0 +/- 5.1 days later. Following antiviral treatment, the durations of the presence of antigenemia and pp67 mRNA in blood were found to be similar. In conclusion, monitoring of the expression of HCMV pp67 mRNA appears to be a promising, well-standardized tool for determination of the need for the initiation and termination of preemptive therapy. Its overall clinical impact should be analyzed in future prospective studies.  (+info)

Multicenter comparison of the digene hybrid capture CMV DNA assay (version 2.0), the pp65 antigenemia assay, and cell culture for detection of cytomegalovirus viremia. (7/3452)

We compared the Digene Hybrid Capture CMV DNA Assay version 2.0, the pp65 antigenemia assay, traditional tube culture, and shell vial culture for the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia in several patient populations at three centers. Of 561 blood specimens collected from 402 patients, complete clinical and laboratory data were available for 489. Using consensus definitions for true positives and true negatives, the sensitivities of the Hybrid Capture assay, antigenemia, shell vial, and tube culture were 95, 94, 43, and 46%, respectively. The specificities of the Hybrid Capture assay and antigenemia were 95 and 94%, respectively. At all three study sites, the detected level of CMV viremia was significantly higher with the Hybrid Capture assay or antigenemia than with shell vial and tube culture. In a group of 131 healthy nonimmunosuppressed volunteers, the Hybrid Capture assay demonstrated a specificity of over 99%. The Hybrid Capture assay is a standardized assay that is simple to perform and can utilize whole blood specimens that have been stored for up to 48 h. The high sensitivity and specificity of the Hybrid Capture assay along with its simplicity and flexibility make it a clinically useful assay for the detection of CMV viremia in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. Further evaluation to determine its role in predicting CMV disease and for monitoring the therapeutic response to anti-CMV therapy is needed.  (+info)

Prior cytomegalovirus infection and the risk of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty. (8/3452)

BACKGROUND: Restenosis is a common problem after all revascularization procedures in atherosclerotic coronary arteries. Reactivated human cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been detected in tissues of restenotic vascular lesions and was hypothesized to be a contributing pathogenic factor. Recent data suggest an association of restenosis after optimal coronary atherectomy with CMV serostatus, and a possible role of antiviral therapy was discussed. We therefore tested the hypothesis that prior CMV infection might be a risk factor for restenosis after conventional coronary balloon angioplasty (PTCA). METHODS AND RESULTS: We analyzed 92 consecutive patients who had been admitted for control angiography after previous PTCA within a mean interval of 6 months. Anti-CMV antibodies were measured as an indicator of prior CMV infection and latency. The coronary angiograms before PTCA, directly after, and 6 months later were analyzed quantitatively. Sixty-five percent of the patients were CMV-positive. Before PTCA, the degree (mean+/-SD) of stenosis was 69+/-10% in CMV-positive and 68+/-8.3% in CMV-negative subjects. PTCA resulted in a residual stenosis of 39% in both groups. After 6 months, the late losses of luminal diameter in the CMV-positive and -negative groups were 11+/-13% and 12+/-15%, respectively (P=0.658). In an ANCOVA with 25 potential risk factors for restenosis, CMV serostatus was not significantly associated with restenosis development. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that prior CMV infection, in contrast to optimal atherectomy, is not associated with chronic restenosis after conventional coronary balloon angioplasty. The results do not support a possible benefit from antiviral therapy.  (+info)

We assessed the value of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia assay for diagnosing primary CMV infection in adults. The CMV antigenemia assay was performed for 40 patients admitted to our unit over a 2-year period with unexplained fever and suspected primary CMV infection. Nine of the 10 patients with primary CMV infection had positive CMV antigenemia assays, and the results were available within 5 hours. All 10 patients had a mononucleosis-like syndrome. All but one of the 30 other patients had negative CMV antigenemia assays. A false-positive result was obtained for a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. Overall, the CMV antigenemia assay was 90% sensitive and 96% specific for the diagnosis of primary CMV infection. Therefore, the CMV antigenemia assay appears to be a simple, rapid, inexpensive test for the diagnosis of primary CMV infection in hospitalized adults.. ...

Neurodevelopmental assessment after congenital cytomegalovirus infection. | Archives of Disease in ChildhoodNeurodevelopmental assessment after congenital cytomegalovirus infection. | Archives of Disease in Childhood
The neurodevelopmental state of 41 children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection and their controls was assessed at 2 years using the Griffiths scale. The scores achieved by children with congenital cytomegalovirus but with no associated neurological abnormality (asymptomatic) were similar to those of the control children, whereas the mean score of the five children with congenital infection and neurological impairment (symptomatic) was significantly lower. This study, which has the statistical power to detect differences in developmental quotient as small as five points, gave no evidence that at 2 years cytomegalovirus infection was associated with mental retardation in the absence of other neurological impairment. Thus 90% of children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection at 2 years are neurologically and developmentally normal.. ...

We present a case of Primary cytomegalovirus infection presented in mid-trimester with itching and obstetric cholestasis like picture. To the best of our knowledge the similarities between primary CMV and obstetric cholestasis, when presenting during pregnancy, have not been highlighted before in the literature. Case Report: A 36 year old lady presented to antenatal clinic at 23+4 weeks gestational age with intense itching. Bile acids and ALT were raised so she was treated as obstetric cholestasis whilst other results were awaited. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibodies, immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM were positive despite being negative at booking, suggesting an acquisition of CMV at approximately 18 weeks gestation. This article highlights the details of her case including the management and consequences of cytomegalovirus in pregnancy. Conclusion: This case report highlights the importance of the awareness of the clinicians with the condition as a differential diagnosis to obstetric cholestasis. CMV should

Human Cytomegalovirus Infection: Biological Features, Transmission, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment | IntechOpenHuman Cytomegalovirus Infection: Biological Features, Transmission, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment | IntechOpen
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the human herpesviruses, is a deoxyribonucleic acid virus that is ubiquitous in the world. After primary infection, CMV develops a latent state; however, when the defense of the immune system decreases in a host, it can reactivate. Human cytomegalovirus infections are acquired via several ways. CMV is spread through contact with infected bodily fluids in humans, whereas it occurs in pregnant women through close contact with young children or through sexual transmission. The clinical manifestations consist of non-specific symptoms or clinical findings. However, the patients with acute CMV infections are generally asymptomatic. Congenital CMV infection (present at birth) occurs via intrauterine transmission of the virus that is thought to be transferred to the developing fetus. The common clinical manifestations of congenital CMV infection are sensorineural hearing loss, petechiae, jaundice at birth, and hepatosplenomegaly. The vast majority of healthy children and

Intravascular Hemolysis as a Presenting Feature of Acute Cytomegalovirus Infection in an Immunocompetent PatientIntravascular Hemolysis as a Presenting Feature of Acute Cytomegalovirus Infection in an Immunocompetent Patient
Acute Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection seldom presents with hemolytic anemia in an immunocompetent host. When hemolysis does occur, it is typically immune mediated and extravascular, but can be intravascular with the degree of anemia ranging from mild to severe. We report a case of a healthy 27-year-old woman who presented with jaundice and non-immune mediated intravascular hemolysis as an initial feature of acute CMV infection. Viral etiologies (including CMV) should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with Coombs negative intravascular hemolysis.

The outcome of congenital cytomegalovirus infection in relation to maternal antibody statusThe outcome of congenital cytomegalovirus infection in relation to maternal antibody status
Background. Intrauterine transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV) can occur whether a mother has prior immunity or acquires CMV for the first time during pregnancy. The degree of protection afforded an infected infant by the presence of antibody in the mother before conception is uncertain. Methods. We compared the outcomes of CMV-infected infants born to mothers who acquired primary CMV infection during pregnancy (primary-infection group) with those of CMV-infected infants born to mothers with immunity (recurrent-infection group). Screening for viruria identified 197 newborns with congenital CMV infection. Stored serum samples were used to categorize maternal infection as either primary or recurrent. We followed 125 infants from the primary-infection group and 64 from the recurrent-infection group. Serial medical, audiologic, psychometric, and eye examinations were used to identify sequelae of CMV infection. Results. Only infants in the primary-infection group had symptomatic CMV infection at ...

Acute cytomegalovirus infection in Kenyan HIV-infected infants. - Target Discovery InstituteAcute cytomegalovirus infection in Kenyan HIV-infected infants. - Target Discovery Institute
OBJECTIVE: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) coinfection may influence HIV-1 disease progression during infancy. Our aim was to describe the incidence of CMV infection and the kinetics of viral replication in Kenyan HIV-infected and HIV-exposed uninfected infants. METHODS: HIV-1 and CMV plasma viral loads were serially measured in 20 HIV-exposed uninfected and 44 HIV-infected infants born to HIV-infected mothers. HIV-infected children were studied for the first 2 years of life, and HIV-exposed uninfected infants were studied for 1 year. RESULTS: CMV DNA was detected frequently during the first months of life; by 3 months of age, CMV DNA was detected in 90% of HIV-exposed uninfected infants and 93% of infants who had acquired HIV-1 in utero. CMV viral loads were highest in the 1-3 months following the first detection of virus and declined rapidly thereafter. CMV peak viral loads were significantly higher in the HIV-infected infants compared with the HIV-exposed uninfected infants (mean 3.2 versus 2.7 log10 CMV DNA

BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus infection in renal transplant recipients is a major clinical problem, with both short and long term sequelae. Infection can occur as a result of reactivation of latent virus or new infection from donor tissues. The impact of donor and recipient serostatus on viremia is well recognised, with seronegative recipients at greatest risk after transplantation of an organ from a seropositive donor. However, the impact of grafting such organs into seropositive recipients is less clear. OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of recipient serostatus on the risk of CMV antigenemia in a large renal transplant cohort. STUDY DESIGN: We prospectively quantified CMV antigenemia over time in a cohort of 486 recipients. We analysed the antigenemia status according to donor and recipient serostatus. RESULTS: Antigenemia was most common in seronegative recipients of organs from seropositive donors (D+/R-). Nevertheless, we observed that even in CMV seropositive recipients, the impact of donor

AIMS--To study the association between cytomegalovirus (CMV) excretion and interstitial pneumonitis in allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients, with reference to donor and recipient CMV antibody response. METHODS--The incidence of CMV excretion was prospectively studied in 62 allogeneic bone marrow transplantations performed on adults and children. All recipients received CMV seronegative blood products. Prophylaxis with high dose acyclovir and CMV immune globulin was given to high risk patients (donor or recipient, or both, CMV seropositive). RESULTS--CMV excretion was detected in eight of 26 (31%) high risk patients but in only one of 36 low risk patients (donor and recipient both CMV seronegative). Five of the eight (63%) excretors in the high risk category developed CMV, of whom four (80%) belonged to the seropositive recipient/seronegative donor group, and included the three CMV seropositive recipients whose CMV complement fixation antibody titres were 64 or greater before ...

A Randomized Trial to Prevent Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV) - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govA Randomized Trial to Prevent Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV) - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital infection, with approximately 44,000 congenitally infected infants in the U.S. per year. A substantial proportion of these infants will die or suffer permanent injury as a result of their infection. The severity of congenital infection is greatest with primary maternal CMV infection. Currently, there is no proven method of preventing congenital CMV infection, and the approach to primary maternal CMV infection in the United States is haphazard and ineffective. One small, non-randomized study suggests that maternal administration of CMV hyperimmune globulin may significantly reduce the rate of congenital CMV infection following maternal primary infection. The MFMU CMV Trial will address the primary research question: does maternal administration of CMV hyperimmune globulin lower the rate of congenital CMV infection among the offspring of women who have been diagnosed with primary CMV infection during early pregnancy?. The research study is funded ...

Community Engagement to Improve Prevention and Treatment of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection - Tier I | PCORICommunity Engagement to Improve Prevention and Treatment of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection - Tier I | PCORI
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a significant cause of infant morbidity and a high national priority for development of prevention and treatment strategies. CMV is the most common congenital infection, with incidence of approximately 0.7 percent of live births in the United States (30,000 or 1:150 infants/year). Nearly 20 percent exhibit permanent neurologic disabilities, including hearing loss and severe cognitive or physical impairment.

Differential Impact of Age and Cytomegalovirus Infection on the γδ T Cell Compartment | The Journal of ImmunologyDifferential Impact of Age and Cytomegalovirus Infection on the γδ T Cell Compartment | The Journal of Immunology
Aging is associated with significant alterations of both the adaptive and innate arms of the immune system. The present study focuses on γδ T cells, which are considered intermediate mediators between adaptive and innate immunity. We provide in this paper further insights underlying the changes that affect the γδ T cell compartment with advanced age. We show that both aging and CMV infection impact independently on the γδ T cell compartment. This dual effect provides an explanation for the discrepancy in the changes observed between Vδ2− and Vδ2+ γδ T cells in elderly (10, 11). Although the frequency of Vδ2+ γδ T cells declines in all individuals with advanced age, Vδ2− γδ T cell numbers only decrease in CMV-seronegative donors. In CMV-seropositive donors, the frequency of Vδ2− γδ T cells is likely preserved overtime as the result of the strong mobilization of the Vδ2− γδ T cell pool because of persistent CMV infection. This phenomenon is reminiscent of the so ...

Intrauterine fetal death due to congenital cytomegalovirus infection | The Brazilian Journal of Infectious DiseasesIntrauterine fetal death due to congenital cytomegalovirus infection | The Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Congenital CMV infection results from transplacental transmission of the virus during maternal viremia. The fetus can be infected by either a newly acquired (primary) maternal infection or a recurrent (reactivated) maternal infection. The likelihood of fetal infection and the risk of associated damage and sequelae are higher after a primary infection. Maternal viremia is more likely to occur at primary than recurrent infection.1 After transplacental transmission, the virus spreads through the fetus by hematogenous route. Infection at an earlier gestational age often correlates with a worse outcome and may lead to intrauterine death.2. Cytomegalovirus is a DNA virus of the herpesvirus group which produces an enlargement of the infected cell, and microscopically with hematoxylin-eosin staining, a large 5-15μm sized violaceous to dark red intranuclear inclusion surrounded by a thin clear halo can be seen. At autopsy, diagnosis is most often made histologically by finding the characteristic CMV ...

CMV is a major clinical problem in transplant recipients. Thus, it is important to use sensitive and specific diagnostic techniques to rapidly and accurately detect CMV infection and identify patients at risk of developing CMV disease. In the present study, CMV infection after liver transplantation was monitored retrospectively by two molecular biology assays - a quantitative PCR assay and a qualitative NASBA assay. The results were compared with those obtained by prospective pp65 antigenemia determinations. 87 consecutive samples from 10 liver transplanted patients were tested for CMV by pp65 antigenemia, and CMV monitor and NASBA pp67 mRNA assay. CMV infection was detected in all patients by antigenemia and CMV monitor, whereas NASBA assay identified only 8/10 patients with viremia. Furthermore, CMV infection was never detected earlier by molecular biology assays than by antigenemia. Only 5/10 patients with CMV infection developed CMV disease. Using a cut off value of 8 cells/50,000, antigenemia was

A study of 531 female patients attending a venereal disease clinic was undertaken to assess the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in the cervix. The findings were as follows: (1) 35 of 531 patients had positive cervical cultures for CMV (6-6 per cent.). (2) 28 of 531 patients were positive for Herpes virus hominis (5-3 per cent.). (3) Excluding those who were pregnant, 20 of 28 with CMV were taking oral contraceptives (71 per cent.). (4) Seven babies born to infected mothers showed no signs of cytomegalic inclusion disease. (5) 28 of 35 with CMV had associated genital infections (80 per cent.). (6) Positive cultures were obtained in twenty cases for periods up to 10 months. (7) The CMV complement-fixation test was positive in all 23 patients with positive CMV cultures who were tested. (8) Seven male consorts were examined but CMV was not isolated from any of them. (9) A case of CMV mononucleosis was detected. It is suggested that the higher incidence in patients attending a VD clinic is due to ...

05 Apr 2017. Results of the pivotal Phase 3 clinical study of letermovir, an investigational antiviral medicine for the prevention of clinically-significant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in adult CMV-seropositive recipients of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) have been announced.. The results were presented for the first time at the BMT Tandem Meetings, the combined annual meetings of the Center for International Blood & Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) and the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT).. CMV is the most common clinically significant viral infection in allogeneic HSCT recipients.. While preemptive therapy (treatment when CMV DNA is detected in the blood) with antiviral medicines can reduce the incidence of CMV disease, CMV reactivation post-HSCT is associated with higher mortality despite the use of preemptive therapy.. Letermovir is an investigational once-daily antiviral medicine under development for the prevention of CMV ...

N2 - Passive immunotherapy with high doses of pooled unscreened immunoglobulins or immunoglobulin specifically prepared from donors with high levels of antibody to CMV has few adverse side-effects and is succesful in producing good increments in CMV antibody levels. The conflicting results of treatment trials and the lack of a demonstrated antiviral effect in vivo do not encourage the use of immunoglobulin alone for the treatment of CMV disease. The prophylactic effectiveness of immunoglobulin for CMV disease in seronegative marrow transplant patients is also questionable, although there is some indication that prophylaxis in patients with less severe immune defects (for example, renal transplant patients) may be useful..

KENILWORTH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved PREVYMIS™ (letermovir) once-daily tablets for oral use and injection for intravenous infusion. PREVYMIS is indicated for prophylaxis (prevention) of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in adult CMV-seropositive recipients [R+] of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). CMV is a common and potentially serious viral infection in allogeneic HSCT recipients. CMV-seropositive patients who undergo an HSCT are at high risk for CMV reactivation. Any level of CMV infection is associated with increased mortality in HSCT patients. In the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial supporting approval, significantly fewer patients in the PREVYMIS group (38%, n=122/325) compared to the placebo group (61%, n=103/170) developed clinically significant CMV infection, discontinued treatment or had missing ...

N2 - CMV is the most important viral opportunist in patients with AIDS. Nearly all patients with AIDS have been exposed to CMV and the virus can be isolated from many. When CMV-related disease occurs in AIDS, it has usually involved the eye or gastrointestinal tract. In lesions in which CMV is the suspected etiology, evidence of direct pathogenicity of the virus should be obtained, usually histologically. Accurate diagnosis is essential because long-term therapy with a relatively toxic drug (ganciclovir) is indicated. We have presented a case of CMV infection of the larynx that responded, albeit slowly, to ganciclovir. Additional cases may arise as the prevalence of AIDS increases. Because of the potential for airway compromise and the tendency toward chronicity, CMV infection of the larynx should be of a ...

Objective. To determine whether newborn cranial computed tomographic (CT) scan abnormalities predict an adverse neurodevelopmental outcome in children with symptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and to examine the association between clinical findings at birth and imaging abnormalities.. Methods. The data from 56 children with symptomatic congenital CMV infection who underwent cranial CT scans as newborns and were enrolled in a long-term follow-up study were analyzed. The incidence of sequelae was compared between the groups of children with normal and abnormal imaging studies. The relationship between CT scan results and other newborn findings was also examined.. Results. Abnormal CT scans were noted in 70% of subjects; intracerebral calcification was the most frequent finding. Most of the children with an abnormal newborn CT scan (90%) developed at least one sequela, compared with 29% of those with a normal study. Only 1 child with a normal CT scan had an IQ ,70, in contrast to ...

Abstract: Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients causes both direct and indirect effects including allograft rejection, decreased graft and patient survival, and predisposition to opportunistic infections and malignancies. Options for CMV prevention include pre-emptive therapy, whereby anti-CMV agents are administered based on sensitive viral assays, or universal prophylaxis of all at-risk patients. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages in terms of efficacy, costs, and side effects. Standards of care for prophylaxis have not been established.. Methods: A committee of international experts was convened to review the available data regarding CMV prophylaxis and to compare preventative strategies for CMV after transplantation from seropositive donors or in seropositive recipients.. Results: Pre-emptive therapy requires frequent monitoring with subsequent treatment of disease and associated costs, while universal prophylaxis results in ...

During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market. ...

New Insights Into Cytomegalovirus Infection After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant - Hematology & OncologyNew Insights Into Cytomegalovirus Infection After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant - Hematology & Oncology
H&O How common is CMV infection among patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant?. MB Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation occurs in approximately 50% to 70% of seropositive patients undergoing allogeneic transplant. The rate varies depending on the diagnostic method that is used to identify reactivation. Among settings in which the donor is seropositive and the recipient is negative, the incidence is 20% to 25% (Figure).. H&O What risk factors have been identified for CMV reactivation and the development of CMV infection?. MB The CMV serostatus is important, with CMV seropositivity of the recipient being the highest-risk setting. CMV donor serostatus can affect the severity of CMV infection among seropositive recipients.

Background: Leukoreduction of cellular blood components is a standard practice in the Blood Bank to prevent cytomegalovirus transmission. This process is of utmost importance in our pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients who are immunocompromized and thus are susceptible to this infection. The objective of this study is to show that bedside leukoreduction of cellular blood products is a safe alternative to blood components from a very limited pool of CMV seronegative donors in pediatric HSCT recipients.. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of our pediatric HSCT performed between 02/23/96 and 03/11/05. Screening for CMV antibody in our donors was discontinued in 02/23/96. Instead, we switched to bedside leukoreduction for patients who need CMV negative blood products, including the pediatric HSCT recipients. Transplant recipients and donors were tested for CMV antibody prior to transplant date. Patients and donors who were CMV seronegative pairs were included in ...

Life-threatening opportunistic cytomegalovirus infection is a complication of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that occurs in 7.4% or more of patients with AIDS. Cytomegalovirus retinitis, colitis, esophagitis, and gastritis are the commonest manifestations of severe cytomegalovirus end-organ disease. Extensive trials with intravenous ganciclovir, a nucleoside analogue with myelosuppressive toxicity, have shown that ganciclovir halts the progression of cytomegalovirus retinitis and gastrointestinal disease. Since relapse is common when therapy is discontinued, most patients with AIDS need lifelong maintenance therapy. The clinical response to ganciclovir therapy is usually accompanied by diminished shedding of the virus. Based on limited data, foscarnet, a pyrophosphate analogue, also appears to have some efficacy in treating cytomegalovirus infection. Unlike ganciclovir, foscarnet does not cause myelosuppression. An important direction for future clinical research is the ...

Kinetics of US28 Gene Expression during Active Human Cytomegalovirus Infection in Lung-Transplant RecipientsKinetics of US28 Gene Expression during Active Human Cytomegalovirus Infection in Lung-Transplant Recipients
Targeting viral proteins early during infection may limit exacerbation of human cytomegalovirus infection. The viral chemokine-receptor homologue US28 interferes with leukocyte trafficking and, possibly, viral replication. Because US28 molecules are abundant on the surface of infected cells, this homologue is a potential target for antiviral therapy. To assess the relationship between US28 and disease activity, we measured, by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, the levels of US28 and immediate-early (IE) 1 gene transcripts in the blood of lung-transplant recipients. We found that, during primary and secondary infection, the IE1 and US28 genes have early transcription kinetics and are expressed at similar levels. This may render US28 an attractive target for antiviral therapy ...

Abstract: Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection occurs in approximately 1% of newborns and is the leading infectious cause of congenital birth defects. Female renal allograft recipients who develop CMV infection during pregnancy are at risk for both graft dysfunction and fetal morbidity. DNA-based analysis of amniotic fluid (AF) from at-risk pregnancies has been suggested as an adjunct/substitute for traditional culture. We have shown that CMV-polymerase chain reaction of AF is a useful diagnostic test for congenital CMV infection. Using this test we diagnosed CMV infection in the fetus of a 30-year-old renal transplant recipient. As termination was not an option for the family, the patient was extensively counseled and treated with oral ganciclovir. This resulted in clearance of the virus from the AF and the delivery of a healthy newborn girl, free of CMV disease. This is the first reported case to our knowledge of successful use of maternal ganciclovir to treat intrauterine CMV infection ...

The effect of chronic cytomegalovirus infection on pneumococcal vaccine responses. - Department of PaediatricsThe effect of chronic cytomegalovirus infection on pneumococcal vaccine responses. - Department of Paediatrics
BACKGROUND: Immune function declines with age and has been associated with reduced vaccine responsiveness. Chronic infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been proposed as a contributor to poorer responses in older adults. A pneumococcal vaccine has been recommended in the United Kingdom for those aged |65 years since 2003 to prevent pneumococcal disease. METHODS: We evaluated the effect of age and CMV status on pneumococcal vaccine responses in 348 individuals aged 50-70 years. RESULTS: We found participant age to be associated with serotype-specific and functional antibody titers after pneumococcal vaccination, with a mean 6.2% (95% confidence interval, 2.9%-9.5%) reduction in postvaccination functional antibody titers per year. CMV status was not associated with serotype-specific immunoglobulin G concentrations or functional antibody titers after pneumococcal vaccination. However, CMV seropositivity was associated with higher levels of prevaccination functional antibody for 4 of 7 pneumococcal

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation in previously immunocompetent critically ill patients is associated with increased mortality, which has been hypothesized to result from virus-induced immunomodulation. Therefore, we studied the effects of CMV reactivation on the temporal course of host response biomarkers in patients with sepsis. In this matched cohort study, each sepsis patient developing CMV reactivation between day 3 and 17 (CMV+) was compared with one CMV seropositive patient without reactivation (CMVs+) and one CMV seronegative patient (CMVs−). CMV serostatus and plasma loads were determined by enzyme-linked immunoassays and real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Systemic interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-18, interferon-gamma-induced protein-10 (IP-10), neutrophilic elastase, IL-1 receptor antagonist (RA), and IL-10 were measured at five time points by multiplex immunoassay. The effects of CMV reactivation on sequential concentrations of these biomarkers were assessed in multivariable

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is a common complication of advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Administration of oral valaciclovir, a valine ester of acyclovir, achieves sufficient plasma acyclovir levels to inhibit many clinical isolates. Acyclovir has been associated with enhanced survival in AIDS but not with CMV disease prevention. CMV-seropositive patients (1227) with CD4 cell counts ,100/mm3 were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind trial. Valaciclovir, 8 g/day, was compared with acyclovir, 3.2 or 0.8 g/day, for CMV prevention; all three arms were compared for survival. The confirmed CMV disease rate was 11.7% among valaciclovir recipients and 17.5% in the pooled acyclovir arms, a 33% reduction in risk. Time to confirmed CMV disease was significantly longer for the valaciclovir group (P = .03). A trend toward earlier mortality for valaciclovir recipients was seen (P = .06). Toxicity and earlier medication discontinuation were more common in this group. Valaciclovir ...

Background.The incidence and clinical and virologic aspects of ganciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease have not been well-characterized in heart transplant recipients.. Methods.We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent their first heart transplantation during the period from 1 January 1995 through 30 June 2005 at a single health care center. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to assess the relationship between clinical variables and CMV disease. Portions of the UL97 gene were sequenced in patients with slow clinical and/or virologic response to ganciclovir therapy.. Results.Cytomegalovirus disease developed in 32 (11.7%) of 274 patients at a median of 4.2 months after transplantation (range, 1.8-11.6 months after transplantation) and was independently associated with donor-seropositive/recipient-seronegative (D+/R-) serostatus (adjusted hazard ratio, 6.93; P , .001). The incidence of ganciclovir-resistant CMV disease was 1.5% overall (4 of 274 patients), 5% ...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common in immunocompetent patients in intensive care units (ICUs). However, whether CMV infection or CMV reactivation contributes to mortality of immunocompetent patients remains unclear. A literature search was conducted for relevant studies published before May 30, 2016. Studies reporting on CMV infection in immunocompetent patients in ICUs and containing 2 × 2 tables on CMV results and all-cause mortality were included. Eighteen studies involving 2398 immunocompetent patients admitted to ICUs were included in the meta-analysis. The overall rate of CMV infection was 27% (95%CI 22-34%, I2 = 89%, n = 2398) and the CMV reactivation was 31% (95%CI 24-39%, I2 = 74%, n = 666). The odds ratio (OR) for all-cause mortality among patients with CMV infection, compared with those without infection, was 2.16 (95%CI 1.70-2.74, I2 = 10%, n = 2239). Moreover, upon exclusion of studies in which antiviral treatment was possibly or definitely provided to some patients, the association

Cytomegalovirus-induced immunopathology and its clinical consequences | Herpesviridae | Full TextCytomegalovirus-induced immunopathology and its clinical consequences | Herpesviridae | Full Text
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous DNA virus that causes severe disease in patients with immature or impaired immune systems. During active infection, CMV modulates host immunity, and CMV-infected patients often develop signs of immune dysfunction, such as immunosuppression and autoimmune phenomena. Furthermore, active viral infection has been observed in several autoimmune diseases, and case reports have linked primary CMV infection and the onset of autoimmune disorders. In addition, CMV infection promotes allograft rejection and graft-versus-host disease in solid organ and bone marrow transplant recipients, respectively, further implicating CMV in the genesis and maintenance of immunopathological phenomena. The mechanisms by which CMV could induce inhibition of host defense, inflammation, and autoimmunity are discussed, as is the treatment of virus-induced immunopathology with antivirals.

Rhesus brain microvascular endothelial cells are permissive for rhesus cytomegalovirus infection | Microbiology SocietyRhesus brain microvascular endothelial cells are permissive for rhesus cytomegalovirus infection | Microbiology Society
Endothelial cells (EC) are an important cell type for human cytomegalovirus (CMV) pathogenesis. To characterize better the role of EC in primate CMV natural history, rhesus macaque microvascular EC (MVEC) were purified from fetal brain and analysed for infectivity by rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV). Rhesus brain MVEC (BrMVEC) in culture were positive for von Willebrand factor and CD105 expression, uptake of acetylated low-density lipoprotein, and formation of capillary-like tubules on Matrigel, all phenotypic hallmarks of EC. BrMVEC were fully permissive for infection by RhCMV strain 68-1, and detectable plaques formed within 5 days of infection. Infectivity of BrMVEC by RhCMV could be reduced, but not abolished, by treatment of cells either before or during infection with pro-inflammatory mediators tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These results demonstrate that in vitro infection of rhesus BrMVEC is a dynamic process that is influenced by activation

Developing a prophylactic vaccine for human cytomegalovirus - QIMR BerghoferDeveloping a prophylactic vaccine for human cytomegalovirus - QIMR Berghofer
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most significant microbial cause of birth defects, including brain damage and deafness, in developed nations. There is a compelling argument that a reduction in HCMV load would provide significant benefit in improving human health and reducing health care costs. Vaccination is the most practical way to achieve such a reduction in HCMV load. There are two important clinical settings where vaccination will have a significant impact on health outcome. The first is the prevention of the sequelae of congenital HCMV infection. A prophylactic vaccine to prevent congenital HCMV infection would make a major public health and economic contribution by reducing the incidence of birth defects.. The second setting is the prevention of HCMV-related complications in organ transplantation. HCMV is a major pathogen in both solid organ and bone marrow transplant recipients. We have identified a large number of cytotoxic T cell epitopes from a variety of HCMV antigens. A subset ...

Results:. Using a Cox proportional-hazards model, CMVIG was shown to reduce severe CMV-associated disease (multi-organ CMV disease, CMV pneumonia, or invasive fungal disease associated with CMV infection) from 26% to 12% (relative risk, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.89). When we controlled for the use of monoclonal antibodies to T cells (OKT3), CMVIG use was still protective (relative risk, 0.39; CI, 0.17 to 0.90). Rates of CMV disease were reduced from 31% to 19% (relative risk, 0.56; CI, 0.3 to 1.1) in CMVIG recipients although no effect on rates of CMV infection, graft survival, or patient survival at 1 year were shown. When we controlled for the urgency of transplantation and OKT3 use, a reduction in CMV disease (relative risk, 0.22; CI, 0.06 to 0.81) was shown for globulin recipients for all serologic groups except for the highest risk group (the CMV-seropositive donor, CMV-seronegative group). ...

Previous studies revealed that HCMV infection induces a persistent reconfiguration of the NK cell compartment characterized by the expansion of an NK cell subset expressing the activating NKG2C receptor. This finding has been demonstrated both in healthy individuals and in patients with different pathological conditions (10-16, 30, 31). Remarkably, in patients undergoing UCBT, HCMV infection/reactivation markedly influenced NK cell reconstitution, promoting the rapid appearance and expansion of NKG2C+KIR+NKG2A−Siglec-7− NK cells (17, 18). These studies suggested that the NKG2C activating receptor could play a crucial role in NK cell expansion and/or maturation driven by HCMV infection.. In the present study, we analyzed the maturation and function of NK cells developing in three patients transplanted with cord blood cells from donors carrying homozygous deletion of the NKG2C gene and undergoing HCMV infection. These cases offered a unique opportunity to analyze the features of NK cell ...

This study was initiated in order to define the relevance of ND10 domains for HCMV replication. Experimental results of previous studies suggested that ND10 domains may play a pivotal role for the initiation of HCMV IE gene expression. Arguments that could be interpreted in favor of such a proviral role of ND10 were as follows: (i) viral genomes were found to be deposited at the periphery of ND10 (29, 31); (ii) several regulatory proteins of HCMV at least transiently colocalize with PML and other ND10 components (2, 26, 32, 37); (iii) an immediate transcript environment consisting of viral IE transcripts, the IE2 protein, and SC35 domains was reported to form adjacent to ND10-localized HCMV genomes, suggesting that this spatial association is critical for the correct initiation of viral gene expression (31); (iv) only ND10-associated viral genomes were shown to develop into viral replication compartments (4, 48).. As an experimental approach to study the role of ND10 for HCMV replication, we ...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) manipulates many aspects of host cell biology to create an intracellular milieu optimally supportive of its replication and spread. Our study reveals that levels of several components of the purinergic signaling system, including the P2Y2 and P2X5 receptors, are elevated in HCMV-infected fibroblasts. Knockdown and drug treatment experiments demonstrated that P2Y2 enhances the yield of virus, whereas P2X5 reduces HCMV production. The HCMV IE1 protein induces P2Y2 expression; and P2Y2-mediated signaling is important for efficient HCMV gene expression, DNA synthesis, and the production of infectious HCMV progeny. P2Y2 cooperates with the viral UL37x1 protein to regulate cystolic Ca2+ levels. P2Y2 also regulates PI3K/Akt signaling and infected cell motility. Thus, P2Y2 functions at multiple points within the viral replication cycle to support the efficient production of HCMV progeny, and it may facilitate in vivo viral spread through its role in cell migration. ...

N2 - The impact of intrinsic aging upon human peripheral blood T cell subsets remains incompletely quantified and understood. This impact must be distinguished from the influence of latent persistent microorganisms, particularly CMV, which has been associated with age-related changes in the T cell pool. In a cross-sectional cohort of 152 CMV-negative individuals, aged 21-101 y, we found that aging correlated strictly to an absolute loss of naive CD8, but not CD4, T cells but, contrary to many reports, did not lead to an increase ...

Antiviral mechanisms by which natural killer (NK) cells control murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection in the spleens and livers of C57BL/6 mice were measured, revealing different mechanisms of control in different organs. Three days postinfection, MCMV titers in the spleens of perforin 0/0 mice were higher than in those of perforin +/+ mice, but no elevation of liver titers was found in perforin 0/0 mice. NK cell depletion in MCMV-infected perforin 0/0 mice resulted only in an increase in liver viral titers and not in spleen titers. Depletion of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) in C57BL/6 mice by injections with monoclonal antibodies to IFN-gamma resulted in an increase of viral titers in the liver but not in the spleen. Analyses using IFN-gamma-receptor-deficient mice, rendered chimeric with C57BL/6 bone marrow cells, indicated that in a recipient environment where IFN-gamma cannot exert its effects, the depletion of NK cells caused an increase in MCMV titers in the spleens but had little effect ...

BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients and may cause CMV disease. To optimize the implementation of existing prevention strategies, the Management of Post-transplant Infections in Collaborating Hospitals (MATCH) program was developed. Two key performances of MATCH (diagnosing CMV infection at low viral load (VL) and before the onset of CMV disease) were assessed prior to, during and after the implementation of MATCH.. METHODS: The MATCH program included a personalized surveillance plan, prophylaxis and preemptive therapy determined by the recipients risk of CMV infection. The plan was composed through predefined algorithms and implemented through harvesting of real-time data from medical records. Risk of CMV disease was compared for recipients transplanted during and after vs prior to the implementation of MATCH. Lung and non-lung transplants were analyzed separately.. RESULTS: A total of 593, 349, 520, and 360 SOT recipients were ...

Maribavir Markedly Reduced Cytomegalovirus Infection | EmaxHealthMaribavir Markedly Reduced Cytomegalovirus Infection | EmaxHealth
In a 111 subject study, maribavir significantly reduced the rate of CMV infection requiring treatment across all dose ranges (15 percent, p=0.001; 30 percent, p=0.051 and 15 percent, p=0.002 in 100 mg BID, 400 mg QD, 400 mg BID doses respectively), compared to placebo (57 percent). No patients taking maribavir at any dose developed CMV disease, compared to the placebo group in which three subjects (11 percent) developed the disease. Moreover, there were no reports of late CMV disease across any treatment groups with a maximum follow up period of five months post-transplant.. These results are important because they suggest that maribavir has the potential to shift the CMV management strategy in stem cell transplant from pre-emptive therapy to prophylaxis, said Drew J. Winston, M.D., University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center. It is clear that maribavir has the potential to offer an important new and safer option for clinicians to prevent CMV disease in transplant patients.. Among ...

NK. cells represent an important component of the innate immune response against GW786034 mw infection and tumors. Age-associated changes in NK cell phenotype have been previously reported that can be responsible of functional NK cell deficiency. The aim of this work was to analyze the effect CMV seropositivity and aging on the distribution of NK cell subsets with a focus on the expression of cytotoxicity-related molecules and on the expression of CD94/NKG2 heterodimers and CD57 on these NK cell subsets. Our results show that CMV seropositivity in young individuals does not significantly affect peripheral blood NK cell percentage and NK cell subsets defined by the use of CD56 and CD16 markers. In contrast a significant increase in the percentage of NK cells is observed in elderly donors, all of them are CMV seropositive, when compared with young CMV seropositive subjects. A decrease in the percentage of CD56 bright NK cells, either fully immature CD16 negative or CD16+ and an increase in the ...

Detection of Mouse Cytomegalovirus in Adenocarcinoma Bearing Razi/A Mice: Molecular and Pathological StudiesDetection of Mouse Cytomegalovirus in Adenocarcinoma Bearing Razi/A Mice: Molecular and Pathological Studies
Despite a lot of research, the etiology and progression of breast cancer remain incompletely understood. Recently, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was reported as a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to know whether breast cancer could be caused by cytomegalovirus or not? In this experiment seventeen samples of RAZI/A mice with spontaneous breast cancer were being gathered from laboratory animals department. Histopathology and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were done on breast tissue samples. Formalin-fixed tissue specimens were obtained from mouse normal breast tissues (n:17) and mouse mammary tumors (n:17). Detection of mouse cytomegalovirus was done by the pUC57-MCK-2 plasmid. Our histopathology data showed Adenocarcinoma type B in mouse with mammary tumors. There was a significant difference between mice with spontaneous breast cancer and control by Pearson Chi-Square (Value: 17.000b and P=0.000). More research will be needed to determine the effect of cytomegalovirus on

Reduction of the survival time of pig xenotransplants by porcine cytomegalovirus | Virology Journal | Full TextReduction of the survival time of pig xenotransplants by porcine cytomegalovirus | Virology Journal | Full Text
Xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues and organs may help to overcome the shortage of human tissues and organs for the treatment of tissue and organ failure. Progress in the prevention of immunological rejection using genetically modified pigs and new, more effective, immunosuppression regimens will allow clinical application of xenotransplantation in near future. However, xenotransplantation may be associated with the transmission of potentially zoonotic porcine microorganisms. Until now the only xenotransplantation-associated transmission was the transmission of the porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) into non-human primates. PCMV caused a significant reduction of the survival time of the pig transplant. Here the available publications were analysed in order to establish the mechanism how PCMV shortened the survival time of xenotransplants. PCMV is a herpesvirus related to the human cytomegalovirus and the human herpesviruses 6 and 7. These three human herpesviruses can cause serious disease among

  • Human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) is the most common opportunistic pathogen in the first months after solid organ transplantation. (centerwatch.com)
  • Traditionally, hCMV infection in renal transplant patients is indirectly associated with an increased risk of acute rejection, chronic graft dysfunction, graft loss and even increased patient mortality. (centerwatch.com)
  • AiCuris reported results from a phase IIb trial of letermovir for the prevention of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) following bone marrow transplantation. (centerwatch.com)
  • Infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a common and generally asymptomatic affection in childhood. (greenmedinfo.com)
  • As evidence grows that HCMV interacts with apoptotic signaling due to the interaction of HCMV gene products with cellular proteins of apoptotic pathways, we used human NB cell line UKF-NB-2 persistently infected with HCMV strain AD169 to study the effects of long-term HCMV infection on programmed cell death of neuroectodermal tumor cells. (greenmedinfo.com)
  • The results demonstrate that persistent HCMV infection confers resistance to cytotoxic agents on neuroectodermal tumor cells and protects from apoptosis, probably due to increased levels of Bcl-2 protein. (greenmedinfo.com)
  • Hence, it is conceivable that HCMV infection before or during tumorigenesis may contribute in some NB patients to failure of therapy. (greenmedinfo.com)
  • Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus that is a member of beta-herpesvirus family. (genome.jp)
  • Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) resides latently in hematopoietic cells of the bone marrow. (pnas.org)
  • We have developed an in vitro system in which to study HCMV infection and latency in CD34+ cells cultured with irradiated stromal cells. (pnas.org)
  • Altered gene expression in hematopoietic progenitors may be indicative of the nature and outcome of HCMV infection. (pnas.org)
  • Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous β-herpes virus that maintains a lifelong relationship with its host by way of a latent infection. (pnas.org)
  • HCMV infection in healthy individuals is typically asymptomatic, whereas a primary infection or reactivation of latent HCMV may cause life-threatening disease in immunologically immature or compromised individuals, including neonates, AIDS patients, and transplant patients ( 1 ). (pnas.org)
  • Mocarski and colleagues ( 8 , 18 ) have studied HCMV latency in granulocyte-macrophage progenitors expressing CD33 and dendritic cell markers, and identified several HCMV transcripts expressed during latency following in vivo or in vitro infection ( 18 , 19 ). (pnas.org)
  • Studying HCMV infection of hematopoietic progenitors in vitro is challenging, given the difficulty of maintaining progenitors in an undifferentiated state in culture. (pnas.org)
  • Monocytes and tissue macrophages play important roles in host defense against virus infections and, in the case of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and HIV, may also be the reservoir for latent disease. (jimmunol.org)

  • The authors report a case of optic nerve aplasia in association with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, conveyed through multimodal imaging including color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and B-scan ultrasonography. (healio.com)
Serologic1
  • The purpose of this study was to analyze brain sonographic findings in fetuses with serologic, culture, and/or histologic confirmation of congenital CMV infection. (ajnr.org)
Immunocompetent1

Neonatal3
  • Congenital cytomegalovirus infection can be an important cause of intraventricular hemorrhage and neonatal encephalopathy. (wikipedia.org)
  • The participation of the cytomegalovirus in the etiopathogenesis of neonatal hepatitis has been already known for some time, but only recently there have been indications that this virus may be one of the possible etiological factors for extrahepatic biliary atresia. (mendeley.com)
  • Congenital or neonatal CMV infections where there is not documented congenital or acquired immunodeficiency. (clinicaltrials.gov)
Active CMV infection1
  • 1980 of an active CMV infection inducing Guillain-Barré Syndrome [ 5 ]. (hindawi.com)
Treatment4
  • Zinc may have a therapeutic role in the treatment of human cytomegalovirus infection. (greenmedinfo.com)
  • In addition, women in the parent study were only diagnosed with HIV infection at the time of labor and delivery, so these results are not applicable to HIV-infected pregnant women who are on antiretroviral treatment during pregnancy. (scienceblog.com)
  • Since the virus remains in the person for life, there is no treatment to eliminate CMV infection. (brainfacts.org)
  • Therefore, early and accurate treatment based on rapid and certain detection is needed to prevent fatal CMV infection diseases. (ebscohost.com)
Pregnancy7
  • Because the virus can persist in the vagina for a long time, an infection existing before pregnancy can be transmitted to the baby. (healio.com)
  • These risks appear to be almost exclusively associated with women who previously have not been infected with CMV and who are having their first infection with the virus during pregnancy. (wikipedia.org)
  • Recommendations for pregnant women with regard to CMV infection:[citation needed] Throughout the pregnancy, practice good personal hygiene, especially handwashing with soap and water, after contact with diapers or oral secretions (particularly with a child who is in day care). (wikipedia.org)
  • Women who develop a mononucleosis-like illness during pregnancy should be evaluated for CMV infection and counseled about the possible risks to the unborn child. (wikipedia.org)
  • Of the children whose mothers had experienced non-primary CMV infections during the pregnancy, 64% (9/14) developed long-term sequelae. (helsinki.fi)
  • The highest risk of these severe effects on the fetus is for women who acquire CMV infection for the first time during pregnancy. (brainfacts.org)
  • The risk is much lower for women who have had CMV infection in the past before pregnancy.Immunocompromised individuals. (brainfacts.org)
Infant1
  • The researchers did not evaluate congenital cytomegalovirus rates in the general population because the study was restricted to mother-infant pairs previously enrolled in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development HIV Prevention Trials Network 040 parent study. (scienceblog.com)
Findings6
  • Suspicion of CMV infection in the fetus may occur when certain ultrasound findings are seen, but only 5-25% of fetuses infected with CMV exhibit such findings. (clinicaladvisor.com)
  • In the fetus, the presence of ultrasound findings suspicious for CMV infection should prompt immediate testing of the fetus. (clinicaladvisor.com)
  • CMV infection should be suspected in a patient with fever, fatigue, and malaise without any physical examination findings or historical features pointing to a specific diagnosis. (clinicaladvisor.com)
  • There are no characteristic findings on physical examination that definitively establish or suggest the diagnosis of CMV infection. (clinicaladvisor.com)
  • Instead, our findings that i) endogenous expression of GP131 and GP133 after nuclear delivery of viral DNA still enhanced infection and ii) an HDAC inhibitor overcame the need of the endogenous expression led us to hypothesize a novel mechanism that controls the efficiency of viral infection through the activation of gene expression from viral DNA delivered to the nuclei. (nature.com)
  • Furthermore, the authors review the common ocular findings and previously reported cases of ONA in congenital CMV infection. (healio.com)
Herpes virus2
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a contagious infection of the caused by the member of the herpes virus family. (marketpublishers.com)
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a virus that is predominantly of the herpes virus family , which includes varicella-zoster virus (of the chicken pox and shingles variety), Epstein-Barr virus (causes infectious mononucleosis or mono), herpes, and simplex viruses (which cause cold sores and genital herpes).
