摘要
Objective: Investigate the latent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection as a biomarker of oxidative stress and atherosclerosis. Methods: Latent CMV infection was diagnosed in healthy individuals with PCR-evidence of CMV DNA in peripheral leucocytes. Oxidative stress and atherosclerosis were measured by mitochondrial DNA oxidative damage index (mtDNADCT) and intima media thickness (IMT). Results: The CMV DNA positive subjects had a higher mean mtDNADCT and greater IMT than subjects in the control group. Conclusions: Presence of CMV DNA in leucocytes, as a marker of latent CMV infection, was associated with increased levels of oxidative stress and subclinical atherosclerosis in healthy adults.
