[Diagnostic and virological follow up of human cytomegalovirus infection]

The Human cytomegalovirus [HCMV] is a ubiquitous herpes virus and is a common virus worldwide. It is important in human pathology and causes serious diseases. Our study is to specify the biological, anatomical and epidemiological aspects, as well as the circumstance of the diagnostics and the principal treatments of infections with HCMV. The descriptive study covered all articles published in with the key words Cytomegalovirus, Immunocompromised patients, bone-marrow transplants, renal transplants, AIDS patients, PCR, pp65 antigenemia We found 200 articles published in international reviews. That has been eligible to the study. Most of these articles were concerned about experimental and clinical work [67%and 21%respectively]. The majority [80%] of the articles is written in English. The human cytomegalovirus is the origin of serious infections in patients having an immunity deficit. The study of the place of the HCMV in immunocompromised, is thus of an indisputable interest to understand the factors associated with this infection
