| virus infections of the respiratory tract cytopathologic and clinical analysis. | thirty-three cases of respiratory tract virus infections diagnosed cytologically are reviewed. the clinical and demographic data are presented and correlated with an analysis of the cytologic findings. herpes virus was the most common infection. it occurred in patients with other severe medical problems and had little apparent effect on the clinical outcome of any particular case. quantitative and qualitative cytologic findings did not correlate with the severity of the herpetic infection. the v ... | 1977 | 189546 |
| renal transplant and cytomegalovirus infection: experience in a community hospital program. | cytomegalovirus (cmv) is the most frequently occurring opportunistic pathogen and single most important infectious agent in renal transplant recipients, contributing significantly to their morbidity and mortality. infection generally occurs in the first four months after transplant and develops in about two-thirds of these patients overall. cytomegalovirus infection may occur as a primary disease, a reactivation, or as a superinfection and may encompass a spectrum of diseases ranging from asympt ... | 1992 | 1333681 |
| the seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus among virginia state prisoners. | a prevalence serosurvey of adult male prisoners entering the virginia state prison was conducted to evaluate the epidemiology of cytomegalovirus within this population. four hundred and forty-five (97%) of 459 male inmates provided serum for analysis and 427 completed a detailed demographic questionnaire. sera were tested for cytomegalovirus by passive latex agglutination and 64% were reactive. multivariate discriminant analysis showed an independent association of seropositivity with age, non-w ... | 1989 | 2549559 |
| cytomegalovirus and child day care. evidence for an increased infection rate among day-care workers. | to determine whether day-care workers acquire cytomegalovirus infection from the children they care for, we studied 610 women employed at 34 day-care centers over two years. forty-one percent of the caretakers were seropositive for cytomegalovirus. after adjustment for the effects of race, marital status, and age on seropositivity, the women who cared for children younger than two years of age had a significantly higher seropositivity rate (46 percent) than the women who cared for children older ... | 1989 | 2552316 |

| aquatic pollution-induced immunotoxicity in wildlife species. | the potential for chemicals to adversely affect human immunologic health has traditionally been evaluated in rodents, under laboratory conditions. these laboratory studies have generated valuable hazard identification and immunotoxicologic mechanism data; however, genetically diverse populations exposed in the wild may better reflect both human exposure conditions and may provide insight into potential immunotoxic effects in humans. in addition, comparative studies of species occupying reference ... | 1997 | 9193919 |
| clinical features of patients with acute respiratory illness and rhinovirus in their bronchoalveolar lavages. | several reports in selected populations suggest that human rhinovirus (hrv) may be responsible for lower respiratory tract infections or pneumonia. we describe clinical features of all patients with rhinovirus cultured from their bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) during a 10-yr period in a tertiary care center. | 2001 | 11255093 |
| cytomegalovirus infections among african-americans. | since african-americans have twice the prevalence of cytomegalovirus (cmv) infections as age-matched caucasians we sought to determine the ages and possible sources of infection of african-american children. | 2008 | 18673567 |
