from Vincent C. Emery, Richard S.B. Milne and Paul D. Griffiths writing in Cytomegaloviruses: From Molecular Pathogenesis to Intervention:
CMV infection significantly impacts on the success of transplantation of abdominal organs. There are a range of both direct and indirect effects attributable to CMV. In this review we survey our current understanding of CMV pathogenesis, the immune control of CMV replication in these transplanted patients, the antiviral chemotherapeutic options available for managing infection/disease and consider the newer options available for drug therapy and for vaccination.
