Prevalence and molecular epidemiology of CMV and EBV among nurses working in pediatrics, transplantology, and primary health care.

CONCLUSIONS: The positive PCR CMV/EBV markers only in the study group can be indicative of the exposure of nurses to these pathogens being greater than in other people not being professionally involved in patient care. In addition, it was observed that the level of CMV IgG antibodies as well as EBV VCA IgG antibodies tended to be linked to the age and the length of work of nurses working in pediatrics.
