ABSTRACT
Infections from herpes virus play a key role in post-transplantation pathology, so it is indispensable to characterize the group of would-be renal transplant recipients. IgG antibody titers were detected by indirect immunofluorescence to Herpes simplex virus, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in 100 patients treated with hemodialysis in the Nephrology Institute. The prevalence of antibodies to cytomegalovirus and to Herpes simplex and Epstein Barr viruses was 100 and 95 respectively. Average geometric titers (AGT) of antibodies to CMV were significantly higher. There was no correlation between AGT and sex, age, time of disease remission, number of blood transfusions and number of transplants.
