Article Synopsis
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of complications and death after liver transplantation, making effective prevention crucial.
- Current guidelines recommend antiviral prophylaxis and pre-emptive treatment, while CMV-IgG serology is the standard method for screening donors and recipients before transplantation.
- Ongoing studies are evaluating new antiviral treatments and immune functional tests, but a consensus on the best individual management strategies for CMV remains to be established, as high-risk patients still face a significant risk of developing the disease.
