Pediatric transplantation case conference: Update on cytomegalovirus

Rebecca Pellett Madan et al. Pediatr Transplant. 2018 Nov.

Abstract

The prevention and management of cytomegalovirus (CMV) remain challenging in children who have undergone solid organ transplantation, despite the availability of effective antiviral medications and sensitive diagnostic assays. The primary objective of this invited commentary is to provide an updated and multidisciplinary approach to persistently challenging CMV cases that commonly occur in pediatric transplantation candidates and recipients, including cases for which published data are frequently lacking.

Keywords: Cytomegalovirus; Valganciclovir.
