Refining Management of CMV After Transplant: Exploiting Recent Advances to Alleviate Patient Burden: A Care Team Forum®

Program Overview

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most common infectious complications in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. During this activity, the faculty will discuss best practices for prevention and treatment of CMV post-transplant and provide clinical pearls for managing difficult-to-treat CMV, including refractory or drug-resistant disease. You will learn first-hand from a patient with CMV about the burden and very personal aspects of this disease.
