| Core Tip |
Inflammatory bowel diseases population treated with immune-modifying therapies is at increased risk of severe infections, including opportunistic infections sustained by viral agents. Among opportunistic infections 40% are due to viral pathogens, including hepatitis A virus, hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, human papillomavirus, influenza virus, human immunodeficiency virus, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, varicella zooster virus, Epstein-Barr virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (coronavirus disease 19). A challenge to the gastroenterologist is to adopt preventive measures, recognize and treat common viral infections to minimize their impact on disease outcomes and patients' lives. This practical review supports this standard of care, aiming to bridge the gap of knowledge in this subject area. |
