Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection is infrequently seen after kidney Transplantation (KTX) in children. The seropositivity of this CMV is quite common in both donors and recipients before KTX, and together with heavy immunosuppression constitute risk factors for activation of CMV infection post KTX. Therefore the use of viral prophylaxis for 100-200 days is considered, which help in reducing the risk with the known possibilities of flaring up of infection after discontinuation of viral prophylaxis.
