The spectrum of diseases caused by lymphotropic herpesviruses is well documented in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) [ 8 9 10 11 ] or organ transplantation [ 12 13 ] and in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) [ 14 15 ] . In patients undergoing conventional anticancer therapy without BMT, the data focusing on EBV, CMV or HHV-6 infection are scarcely documented and mostly reported as individual cases [ 16 17 18 19 ] . With combined diagnostic approach of serology and viral DNA detection we performed a prospective study of children undergoing non-BMT therapy for cancer to demostrate the incidence of LH infections.

  • The importance of bacterial infections that complicate the clinical course of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been recognized since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic [ 1 2 ] . Several factors predispose patients with HIV infection to bacterial infections.
