Beyond the Guidelines for CMV: Clinical Perspectives on Challenging Cases Post-Transplant: A Clinical Forum®
Program Overview
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening viral infection in transplant recipients. CMV management in this high-risk population continues to evolve with updated guidelines and newer, less toxic antiviral therapy.
During this activity, faculty will discuss state-of-the-art strategies for preventing and treating CMV in transplant patients, sharing practical insights from challenging cases encountered in their clinical practice.
Infectious disease, transplantation, internal medicine, and nephrology clinicians
