Article Description

Cytomeg ilovirus (CMV), a common virus found all around the world, usually pauses asymptomatic infections in immunocompetent hosts, however it may lead to serious complicatior in immunodeficient patients and In the fetus. CMV is divided into four genotypes according to the pdymorphisms in UL55 gene that encodes for envelope glycoprotein B. Nucleotide polymorphisms of CK V gB gene can affect the cell tropism of the virus and host immune response and believed to have imp >rtant changes in the pathogenesis of CMV. The aim of this study was to determine the gB genotypes jf CMV isolates from different patiant groups selected from different regions of Turkey. A total of 136 clinical specimens from patients (66 lemale, 70 male; age range: 0-65 years, mean age: 24.03 ± 17.17) wli> were diagnosed to have CMV infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or antigenemia tests, between 2001 -2014, in the medical school hospitals of Akdeniz, Ege, Istanbul Cerrahpasa and Erciyes Universities (located at Mediterrar ean, Aegean, northwest and central Anatolia regions, respectively), \yere included in the study. The patient group consisted of 80 renal transplant (RT) recipients, 35 stem
