Beta herpes viruses in patients with cutaneous graft-versus-host disease

https://doi.org/10.22625/2072-6732-2015-7-2-65-69

Abstract

Graft-versus-host disease is a major complication of allogenic bone marrow transplantation. Beta herpes viruses’ role in pathogenesis and prognosis of graft-versus-host disease is significant. 

Objective: To study beta herpes viruses evidence in skin biopsy specimens in graft-versus-host disease patients. 

Material and methods: Clinical features of 50 patients with cutaneous graft-versus-host disease were examined. Cytomegalovirus and human herpes virus 6 DNA detection in skin biopsy specimens was performed by PCR. 

Results: Correlation between human herpes virus 6 and poor prognosis in graft-versus-host disease patients has been found. 

Conclusion: Beta herpes virus detection after allogenic bone marrow transplantation could be important in prognosis of graft-versus-host disease.
