This study was purposed to investigate the cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and its related factors after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). A total of 108 patients who received allo-HSCT in zhongda hospital from January 1, 2004 to March 31, 2014 were enrolled in this study. The CMV infection rate and the median time when the CMV-DNA was positive for the first time, and the risk factors related with CMV infection, CMV disease distribution and mortality after allo-HSCT were analyzed. The results showed that the infection rate of CMV was 52.78% (57/108), the median time of CMV infection was 44 d, especially during 30 d-100 d after transplantation. The univariate analysis showed that CMV infection rate was related with the HLA-identical situation between the donor and the recipient, and whether the use of anti-human thymus globulin(ATG) in conditioning regimen, neutropenic period after transplantation exceeded 10 d and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Multivariate analysis showed that CMV infection rate was related with neutropenic period longer than 10 d after transplantation and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The mortality of the patients with CMV disease was 58.82% (10/17), in which the mortality of CMV interstitial pneumonia was highest. The CMV infection was one of the most commonly happened infection after allo-HSCT. It is concluded that to reduce the incidence of CMV disease and mortality, the best choice of allo-HSCT is HLA-identical donor, ATG should be used during the conditioning process, and neutropenic period should be reduced less than 10 days. Moreover, it is necessary to strengthen the preemptive therapy of CMV infection actively.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection poses a significant risk to kidney transplant recipients. This study investigated CMV disease incidence, outcomes, and management challenges in racial and ethnic minority populations following kidney transplantation.
Methods: This single-center, mixed-methods study included a retrospective cohort analysis of kidney transplant recipients (n = 58) and qualitative surveys of healthcare providers.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can cause life-threatening diseases in immunosuppressed patients. Some of the patients with connective tissue disease develop CMV infection, and approximately half of this group has been reported to have received pulsed-methylprednisolone (p-MPSL) therapy. This study aimed to identify predictors of the onset of CMV infection in patients receiving p-MPSL therapy for connective tissue disease.

Introduction Congenital malformations are a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries and are assuming greater importance than ever before. They affect a variety of organ systems and various etiologies have been identified in literature including Toxoplasmosis, Other (syphilis, varicella-zoster, parvovirus B19), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes Simplex (TORCH) infections, exposure to pollutants, consumption of tobacco and alcohol, and advanced maternal age. In developing countries, diagnosis is frequently delayed which leads to poorer outcomes.

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) poses a major threat to crops like Chinese cabbage, causing significant economic losses. A viable and effective strategy to manage such diseases is by improvement of genetic-based viral resistance. To achieve this, it is important to have detailed and wide-ranging genetic resources, necessitating genetic exploration.

Parvovirus B19 is a common human infection worldwide and is typically self-limiting in healthy persons but immunocompromised patients require specific treatments. Pretransplant B19 screening doesn't seem to be important or have any impact on the transplantation process but cytomegalovirus (CMV) study is crucial. We present a kidney-transplanted child infected by parvovirus B19 and cytomegalovirus presented with intractable anemia and raised creatinine.
