Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia is an uncommon presentation of CMV among patients with HIV/AIDS, particularly in co-infection with pneumonia (PCP). A case was reported with a literature review, and a comprehensive literature search was performed using the PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases. We report a 52-year-old male with AIDS presenting with progressively worsening dyspnea over 1 week.

The impact of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection on the mid- and long-term balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) remains unclear. We measured plasma levels of 12 Th1/Th2-type cytokines (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interferon-γ, interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor-α) in a cohort of 290 KTRs at four time points through month 12 after transplantation. Cytokine levels at each point were compared according to the previous documentation of HCMV replication by two approaches: "cumulative exposure" from the time of transplantation and "recent exposure" within the 2-3 months preceding cytokine assessment.

Division of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital of Munich, LMU, Munich, Germany.
Background: Lung transplantation (LuTX) can be the last resort for patients with end-stage lung diseases. In the last decades, improvements were implemented in transplant medicine, from immunosuppression throughout preservation of the donor organ to enhance lung allograft survival. This retrospective study aims to illustrate the development of the LuTX-program at the University Hospital of Munich, LMU, Munich, Germany, since its launch in 1990 by depicting and comparing postoperative outcome.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDNA viruses at once elicit and commandeer host pathways, including DNA repair pathways for virus replication. Despite encoding its own DNA polymerase and processivity factor, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) recruits the cellular processivity factor, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and specialized host DNA polymerases involved in translesion synthesis (TLS) to replication compartments (RCs) where viral DNA (vDNA) is synthesized. While the recruitment of TLS polymerases is important for viral genome stability, the role of PCNA is poorly understood.

Purpose: To investigate ocular manifestation of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients after starting highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and its relationship to T cell immunity.
Methods: HIV patients with ocular IRIS after HAART were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical presentations with previous opportunistic infection, duration from initiation of HAART to IRIS, blood CD4+, CD8+ T cell count, and HIV RNA copies before HAART and at IRIS were analyzed.
