Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been associated with a wide spectrum of clinical syndromes ranging from asymptomatic infections, congenital inclusion disease, mental retardation, infectious mononucleosis-like syndrome, interstitial pneumonia in organ transplants or immunocompromised patients to certain malignancies, particularly Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS); the last whether in its classical, endemic or epidemic form1–3. The concept that common ubiquitous viruses may be responsible for or have a specific function in the initiation of certain types of human malignancies in individuals with underlying immunodeficiencies appears to be valid for at least two herpesviruses, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and CMV, associated with Burkitt’s lymphoma/nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Kaposi’s sarcoma, respectively5–6.
