Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains one of the most common complications in solid organ transplant recipients. It is associated with an increased risk of different complications, including graft loss and mortality. A multidisciplinary panel of solid organ transplant experts gathered to revise and adopt consensus recommendations on CMV diagnostics, prevention, and treatment. Recommendations focus on the current approach to diagnosing CMV infection, different methods of prevention, possibilities of treatment with novel antiviral therapies, and approaches to treating resistant/refractory disease.
