Antiviral agents for preventing cytomegalovirus infection in pediatric renal transplant recipients: A systematic review
Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are associated with severe morbidity and mortality in patients, especially pediatric renal transplantation patients. The use of immunosuppressive agents places these patients at the risk of viral infections. As cytomegalovirus infection influences the graft outcome, adopting useful strategies for limiting this virus after transplantatio...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus Infections in Solid Organ Transplantation: A Review
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) continues to have a tremendous impact in solid organ transplantation despite remarkable advances in its diagnosis, prevention and treatment. It can affect allograft function and increase patient morbidity and mortality through a number of direct and indirect effects. Patients may develop asymptomatic viremia, CMV syndrome or tissue-invasive disease. Late-onset CMV disease ...

متن کاملMixed glycoprotein B genotypes of cytomegalovirus and immunosuppression.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains the most significant infection affecting the outcome of solid-organ trans-plantation or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). CMV infection causes febrile illness and end-organ disease and has been implicated indirectly in other clinically relevant outcomes. CMV infection has been shown to reduce patient survival and graft success rates and to i...
متن کاملHuman Cytomegalovirus Infection in Solid-Organ Transplantation
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) continues to be a major threat against solid-organ transplant recipients despite significant advancements in its prophylaxis and therapy. Primary CMV infection or reactivation of latent CMV in the transplant recipients may cause CMV diseases such as flu-like viral syndrome and tissue-invasive CMV disease. In addition, CMV infection in the recipients is associated wit...
