“…By comparison, acyclovir has very limited activity against CMV. This is important because HSV lesions may indicate contemporaneous CMV or EBV reactivation that could be prevented by and must be treated with ganciclovir rather than acyclovir (34). Ganciclovir 5 mg/kg intravenously every 12 h for 21 d is effective for retinitis and sepsis, but it is less efficacious for more severe invasive CMV syndromes such as pneumonia or gastrointestinal involvement.…”

“…Em estudo realizado por Carmen Mora-Fernandez e colaboradores, em 1997 (30) , e Lippmann e colaboradores em 1995 (31) , evidencia-se que doenças causadas pelo HSV-1 podem ser marcadores para identificar os pacientes com grande possibilidade de desenvolver lesões pelo CMV, em virtude de terem observado a soroconversão para CMV poucos dias após a detecção de lesões de HSV-1.…”

“…Alguns autores afirmam que a ocorrência das co-infecções pelos vírus da família do herpes, especialmente a associação do HSV-1, EBV, CMV e VZH, conduz a lesões mais graves, tanto na mucosa, quanto na pele dos pacientes imunossuprimidos. Nos casos de co-infecções por HSV e EBV na mucosa bucal, as lesões tornam-se exuberantes e, na maioria dos casos confluentes, o que determina altas doses e maior tempo de tratamento antiviral (15,28,30,31,52) .…”
