Updates in Cytomegalovirus Prevention and Treatment in Solid Organ Transplantation

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

The authors summarize recent updates in the prevention and management of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients with a focus on CMV seronegative recipients of organs from seropositive donors (CMV D+/R-) who are at highest risk of CMV infection and disease. They discuss advantages of preemptive therapy for CMV disease prevention in CMV D+/R- liver transplant recipients, letermovir for CMV prophylaxis, and updates in the development of monoclonal antibodies and vaccines as immune-based preventative strategies. They review the roles of maribavir and virus-specific T cells for management of resistant or refractory CMV infection in SOT recipients.
