Standard versus extended primary cytomegalovirus prophylaxis in solid organ transplantation.

Background And Objective: We compared the efficacy and safety of standard vs. extended primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis in solid organ transplantation.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study of CMV seronegative recipients who received CMV prophylaxis after solid organ transplantation from seropositive donor (D+/R-) (2007-2017).

Reduction in mortality associated with secondary cytomegalovirus prophylaxis after solid organ transplantation.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most important viral pathogen in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. The role of secondary CMV prophylaxis in this population remains unclear.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study in a single center.
