Cytomegalovirus Prevention in High-risk Lung Transplant Recipients: Comparison of 3- vs 12-Month Valganciclovir Therapy
The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 07/01/09
Jaksch P et al. - A 12-month CMV prophylaxis with oral valganciclovir is effective in significantly reducing CMV viremia and CMV disease/syndrome in high-risk lung transplant recipients. In addition, a reduction in acute and recurrent rejection episodes was observed, possibly due to less CMV viremia and subsequent immunomodulatory effects.
