This activity will bring you face-to-face with Drs. Kotton, Silveira, and Pereira as they discuss the many facets of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) patients. They will share clinical insights on emerging treatments for resistant and refractory CMV disease, as well as tips for avoiding and managing the challenging side effects of current antiviral therapies.
