| antiviral antibodies in the sera of homosexual men: correlation with their lifestyle and drug usage. | healthy homosexual men between the ages of 21 and 65 years, from the washington, dc (n = 162), and new york city (n = 89) areas, were studied for antibodies in the serum against cytomegalovirus (cmv), herpes simplex virus (hsv) types 1 and 2, and epstein barr virus (ebv) viral capsid antigen (vca). cmv-specific antibodies were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), anti-hsv-1 and -2 antibodies were measured by indirect hemagglutination (iha), and antibodies to ebv vca were measure ... | 1987 | 3029318 |

| bone marrow involvement in patients with posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders: incidence and prognostic factors. | posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders are classified as monomorphic, polymorphic, early lesions, or hodgkin lymphoma type. staging bone marrow examination is recommended in posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder patients; however, information regarding bone marrow involvement in these disorders, especially as related to the posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder subtype, is scarce. we reviewed the clinicopathologic features of 72 posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder cases ... | 2010 | 20381113 |
| molecular detection of viral causes of encephalitis and meningitis in new york state. | the etiology of encephalitis and meningitis, serious diseases of the central nervous system (cns), in most cases remains unknown. the importance of establishing a diagnosis however, becomes even more important as advances are made in effective therapy. molecular methods of detection, in particular, pcr, are being used routinely and have established a place in the arsenal of tools for diagnosis of cns infections. in this study a viral etiological agent was detected by pcr in 340 of the total 2,35 ... | 2011 | 22012726 |

| hbs-ag-negative hepatitis in a hemodialysis unit: relation to epstein-barr virus. | eleven of 40 patients in a hemodialysis unit had clinical or biochemical evidence of hepatitis during a five-week period. the clinical disease was mild, being limited solely to dialysis patients. epidemiologic investigation indicated that the incubation period was between 17 and 35 days and that 10 of 11 patients had been exposed to a single venous-pressure monitor before onset. dried blood and evidence of blood reflux up the venous-pressure gauge suggested that cross-contamination of the blood ... | 1975 | 171573 |
