There were also statistically significant differences in all age groups for EBV (age group 0-1: p = 0.0016; age group 2-5: p = 0.0003; age group 6-11: p = 0.0143; and age group 12-17: p = 0.0455), in all age groups for CMV (age group 0-1: 0.0082; age group 2-5: p < 0.0001; age group 6-11: p < 0.0001; and age group 12-17: p = 0.0003) and in two age groups for HHV-6 (age group 0-1: p = 0.0082; age group 2-5: 0.0016).
Such studies would be interesting since CMV infection has been suggested as a risk factor for the development of PTLD [ 22 24 ] . Investigators have showed that a large percentage of transplant patients who had developed PTLD also had CMV disease [ 22 30 ] . In addition to CMV being implicated as a factor for the development of PTLD, serological studies have shown that patients with an active CMV infection experienced a serological profile of EBV reactivation [ 22 31 32 ] . Cross reactivities between the two viruses were ruled out as a cause for the observed immunoreactivations.
Seventeen (24%), 18 (26%), and 21 (30%) patients were PCR EBV, CMV and HHV-6, respectively, (+) to (+++) positive.
Although it would be very difficult to prove that a CMV infection is the cause of EBV reactivation in clinical situations due to the gamut of factors that are involved, the fact that EBV reactivation was observed after in vitro CMV superinfections supports this role.
However, the effect CMV and EBV may have on each other has not specifically been investigated.
