[Pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of cytomegalovirus infection].

The general characteristics of cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of a member of the family Herpesviridae has been described. Epidemiologic findings, especially CMV infection rates in normal individuals and different risk groups, as well as sources of infection have been discussed. The article presented clinical syndromes associated with CMV infection in normal host, infants, blood products and allograft recipients, HIV-positive and undergoing immuno-suppressive therapy patients.

[The effect of electromagnetic fields on blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in humans].

Reports concerning a decrease of blood fibrinolytic activity in humans during electromagnetic storms, abortions in women working with or near screen monitors and sudden cardiac death in locomotive drivers, decided to examine the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems in workmen staying in areas of electromagnetic waves--25 locomotive drivers, 23 persons working with monitors and control groups. The result of the performed studies allowed me to draw the following conclusions: 1) Professional contact with electromagnetic fields had its influence upon changes in the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems in the examined persons. 2) Increased activity of inhibitor of plasminogen activator (PAI-I), the main factor inhibiting fibrinolysis is ascertained in both investigated groups. 3) Precise knowledge concerning PEM influence on the examined systems has its prophylactic and epidemiologic significance.

[Anti-HBS, anti-CMV, and anti-HIV antibodies and HBS antigen in patients with hemophilia, malignant lymphomas, leukemias and multiple myeloma].

In 21 patients with haemophilia, 10 with acute leukaemia, 12 with malignant lymphomas, and 12 with multiple myeloma in whom the risk of viral infection is increased the following antibodies were determined: anti- CMV, anti-HIV, anti-HBs, and HBs antigen by ELISA test. Anti-CMV were found mainly in acute leukaemia (90%), in haemophilia (71.4%), in malignant lymphoma (41.7%) and multiple myeloma (33.3%). In 19% of cases of haemophilia anti-HIV antibodies were present. In other groups these antibodies were not found. In acute leukaemias mostly anti-HBs antibodies were present. The group of haemophiliacs is particularly exposed to infection by these viruses which is connected unquestionably to blood transfusions.
