Bone marrow fibrin ring granulomas and cytomegalovirus infection.
    American journal of clinical pathology, 1993, Volume: 99, Issue:1

    Fibrin ring granulomas of the bone marrow are described in two organ transplant patients (one renal, one cardiac) with disseminated cytomegalovirus infection. Infection was documented by viral cultures and seroconversion, and in both cases typical cytomegalic cells were identified in proximity to the fibrin ring granulomas. These represent the first case reports of bone marrow fibrin ring granulomas associated with cytomegalovirus.

    Topics: Bone Marrow Diseases; Cytomegalovirus Infections; Fibrin; Granuloma; Humans; Male; Middle Aged

Progressive cytomegalovirus glomerulonephritis - An experimental model.
    The American journal of pathology, 1983, Volume: 112, Issue:3

    Although acute infection with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) resulted in a transient focal glomerulonephritis characterized by mesangial inclusions, infection of HA/ICR mice given antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) led to progressive glomerulonephritis and renal failure. ALG alone without virus failed to produce progressive renal disease. Mice given both MCMV and ALG developed severe proteinuria and azotemia with glomerular crescents by 30 days. By immunofluorescence, viral antigen was limited to mesangial zones and glomerular axial poles. Granular deposits of rabbit IgG from ALG, mouse IgG, and C3 along the peripheral glomerular capillary walls were first observed 12 days after infection. By electron microscopy, virus was found only in glomerular mesangial cells that resembled macrophages. Intramembranous and subepithelial deposits in peripheral capillary walls were associated with accumulations of polymorphonuclear leukocytes dissecting into glomerular basement membranes. These observations best fit a multiphasic mechanism of glomerular injury initiated by persistent virus in the mesangium, followed by deposits of rabbit IgG from ALG, mouse IgG, and C in the peripheral capillary walls, resulting in an amplified immune-complex-mediated injury. Because other viruses localize within the glomerular mesangium, viruses should be considered potential causes of mesangial injury and progressive glomerulonephritis.
