| infections with cytomegalovirus and other herpesviruses in 121 liver transplant recipients: transmission by donated organ and the effect of okt3 antibodies. | one hundred twenty-one adult liver transplant recipients were studied for the incidence, risk factors, and morbidity associated with herpesviruses infections after transplantation. the overall incidence of infection was 59% for cytomegalovirus (cmv), 35% for herpes simplex virus (hsv), 25% for epstein-barr virus (ebv), and 7% for varicella-zoster virus (vzv). primary cmv infection occurred in 46% and reactivation cmv infection in 67% of the susceptible recipients. symptomatic and disseminated cm ... | 1988 | 2839576 |

| early infections in kidney, heart, and liver transplant recipients on cyclosporine. | eighty-one renal, seventeen heart, and twenty-four liver transplant patients were followed for infection. seventeen renal patients received azathioprine (aza) and prednisone as part of a randomized trial of immunosuppression with 21 cyclosporine-and-prednisone-treated renal transplant patients. all others received cyclosporine and prednisone. the randomized aza patients had more overall infections (p less than 0.05) and more nonviral infections (p less than 0.02) than the randomized cyclosporine ... | 1983 | 6310832 |

| human herpesvirus 6: infection and disease following autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. | human herpesvirus 6 activity (hhv-6) was studied in 15 allogeneic and 11 autologous marrow transplantation patients. after transplantation, hhv-6 was isolated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 12 of 26 patients (6 allogeneic and 6 autologous). all isolates were variant b. eleven of 26 and 12 of 19 patients showed salivary shedding of hhv-6 dna before and after transplantation, respectively. the antibody titer increased in 7 of 26 patients. thus, 23 of 26 patients showed evidence of ... | 1996 | 8652850 |
| infectious complications occurring in liver transplant recipients receiving mycophenolate mofetil. | mycophenolate mofetil (mmf) is a new immunosuppressive agent that is gaining widespread use in solid organ transplantation recipients. a comprehensive assessment of infectious complications after its use after liver transplantation has never been assessed. | 1998 | 9753337 |
| methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus: the other emerging resistant gram-positive coccus among liver transplant recipients. | we undertook a study of the characteristics and clinical impact of infections due to methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) after liver transplantation. of 165 patients who received liver transplants at our institution from 1990 through 1998, 38 (23%) developed mrsa infections. the predominant sources of infection were vascular catheters (39%; n=15), wound (18%; n=7), abdomen (18%; n=7), and lung (13%; n=5). a significant increase in mrsa infections (as a percentage of transplant pat ... | 2000 | 10671336 |

| infectious diseases in wild mice (mus musculus) collected on and around the university of pennsylvania (philadelphia) campus. | laboratory mice serve as important models in biomedical research. monitoring these animals for infections and infestations and excluding causative agents requires extensive resources. despite advancements in detection and exclusion over the last several years, these activities remain challenging for many institutions. the infections and infestations present in laboratory mouse colonies are well documented, but their mode of introduction is not always known. one possibility is that wild rodents l ... | 2009 | 19887025 |
| infection with human immunodeficiency virus in the pittsburgh transplant population. a study of 583 donors and 1043 recipients, 1981-1986. | we performed a retrospective serologic survey of 583 organ donors and 1043 transplant recipients for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1). two (0.34%) of the 583 donors and 18 (1.7%) of the 1043 recipients had hiv-1 antibodies by enzyme immunoassay and by western blot. two of 5 seropositive recipients tested also had blood cultures positive for hiv-1. seven (0.7%) of the 1043 transplant recipients had antibodies to hiv-1 before transplantation; 2 of these had hemophilia a, a ... | 1989 | 2911869 |
| ganciclovir prophylaxis for cytomegalovirus infections in pulmonary allograft recipients. | cytomegalovirus (cmv) is a substantial cause of morbidity in pulmonary allograft recipients. in an attempt to decrease the prevalence of this infection, we treated 13 recipients at risk for cytomegalovirus with 3 wk of intravenous ganciclovir (5 mg/kg twice a day for 14 days, starting 5 days after the procedure, followed by 1 wk of the drug at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day). following the ganciclovir course, patients received oral acyclovir, 800 mg three times a day for at least 2 months more. cmv infec ... | 1992 | 1332558 |
