Abstract EN
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections are widely distributed throughout the world.
EBV is linked to various hematological and autoimmune disorders whereas CMV might play important role in the progression of chronic hematological diseases, such as hemoglobinopathies, lymphomas, myelomas, hemophilia, and aplastic and sickle cell anemia.
Both viruses produce a viral homolog of human interleukin-10 that can cause general suppression of immune response, increasing susceptibility to other infections.
These viruses can remain latent in the host cells and be reactivated when the host immune system is compromised.
Studies showing the impact of CMV and EBV infections on hematological disorders are scarce and unclear in the context of coinfection.
This review intends to present the biology, prevalence, and impact of CMV and EBV infections in patients with hematological diseases.
