Article Synopsis
- Increasing cases of resistant cytomegalovirus infections in solid organ transplant recipients highlight the need for effective antiviral treatments like brincidofovir, which is designed to treat such infections without renal toxicity.
- This report shares two instances of severe tubular necrosis in a heart and kidney transplant patient after using brincidofovir, with no other contributing factors identified.
- The patients' renal function improved after stopping brincidofovir, suggesting a strong link between the drug and acute kidney injury, emphasizing the need for clinicians to monitor for this adverse effect in similar patients.
