CMV and Viral Load Monitoring
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a common complication that affects organ transplant patients. CMV, a member of the herpes virus family, establishes a lifelong latent infection that is generally asymptomatic. However, in immunocompromised patients, such as transplant recipients, reactivation of latent CMV is often life-threatening. Guidelines recommend regular monitoring of CMV viral load as an aid for diagnosis of CMV infections and monitoring response to treatment.1, 2
