Resumo Inglês:
Previous studies indicated that patients with atherosclerosis are predominantly infected by human
cytomegalovirus (HCMV), but rarely infected by type 1 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV-1). In this study,
atheromas of 30 patients who underwent aortocoronary bypass surgery with coronary endartherectomy
were tested for the presence of these two viruses. HCMV occurred in 93.3% of the samples and EBV-1
was present in 50% of them. Concurrent presence of both pathogens was detected in 43.3% of the samples.
