Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Cytomegalovirus Disease

Cytomegalovirus Disease

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology

Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma caused by direct viral invasion or immune-mediated mechanisms triggered by infections or tumors. Both processes lead to neuronal injury, disrupted neurotransmission, and diverse neurological symptoms, often with overlapping clinical and pathological features.Autoimmune EncephalitisIn autoimmune encephalitis, antibodies target neuronal antigens on cell surfaces, synapses, or within neurons. A key example is anti-NMDAR encephalitis, which can...

Summary

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a common herpes virus, is linked to various skin conditions, both cancerous and non-cancerous. This review explores EBV

Area of Science:

Virology
Dermatology
Oncology

Background:

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a widespread gamma herpes virus, infecting over 95% of adults globally.
The role of EBV in oncological conditions, including its potential causative, cofactor, or coincidental involvement, remains debated.
Certain EBV-associated conditions manifest in the skin, either primarily or secondarily.

Purpose of the Study:

To review tumoral and nontumoral cutaneous conditions associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection.
To describe the epidemiology of EBV infection.
To elucidate the life cycle of the EBV.

Main Methods:

Literature review of scientific articles and case studies.
Epidemiological data analysis of EBV prevalence.
