The role of cytomegalovirus infection and disease in pediatric bone marrow transplant recipients in Mexico City in the context of viral drug resistance.

We aimed to identify those pediatric patients undergoing ABMT with CMV EOD who developed GCV resistance. Forty-seven patients were analyzed following ABMT. Prospective post-transplant CMV monitoring was performed weekly for the detection of viral leukocyte DNAaemia, viral plasma DNAaemia, and viral DNAuria by PCR.
