Epstein-Barr Virus Infection Presenting With Acute Gastrointestinal Involvement. Report of Two Cases of Epstein-Barr Virus Colitis in Kidney-Transplant Recipients and Scoping Review of the Literature.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpesvirus capable of establishing lifelong latent infections, leading to a wide spectrum of diseases. It can affect multiple organs, including the gastrointestinal tract, typically through lymphoproliferative syndromes or gastric cancer, while acute gastrointestinal disease is rare and poorly understood. Two cases of EBV-induced acute colitis in kidney transplant recipients were described.

Partial Recovery of Telomere Length After Long-term Virologic Suppression in Persons With HIV-1.

Background: People with HIV-1 (PWH) age differently than the general population. Blood telomere length (BTL) attrition is a surrogate biomarker of immunosenescence and aging in PWH. BTL is reduced immediately after HIV-1 infection and recovers in PWH with long-term virologic suppression, but the extent of this recovery is unknown.
