RESUMO
Para estimar a prevalência do vírus Epstein-Barr (EBV) nos receptores de rim e avaliar a carga viral do EBV após o transplante e sua relação com o uso de antivirais, infecção por citomegalovírus, rejeições agudas do enxerto e uso de diferentes imunossupressores, realizamos estudo prospectivo de 60 pacientes transplantados renais. Avaliamos o status sorológico para EBV pré-transplante renal e monitoramos a carga viral do EBV por PCR "real time" no primeiro ano pós-transplante. A prevalência sorológica do EBV foi de 96 por cento; 31 por cento apresentaram carga viral positiva, com freqüência e média significativamente maior no grupo de pacientes que recebeu indução com globulina anti-timocítica (ATG/OKT3).In order to estimate the prevalence of Epstein-Bar virus (EBV) in renal transplant recipients and evaluate the EBV viral load in these patients and its relationship with antiviral agents, cytomegalovirus infection, acute allograft rejection and different immunosuppressive drugs, we studied prospectively 60 renal transplant patients. We determined the EBV serologic status before transplant and monitored the EBV viral load by using real-time PCR over the first year after transplant. The EBV serologic prevalence was 96 per cent; viral load was positive in 31 per cent, with frequency and mean viral load significantly greater in patients that received induction therapy with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG/OKT3)...
