Implication

Narrative review demonstrates management approaches for herpesvirus infections in lung transplant recipients, highlighting strategies to prevent allograft failure.

Key Points

To review the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and preventative and therapeutic strategies for herpesvirus infections in lung transplant recipients.
Narrative review of clinical and laboratory evidence regarding herpesvirus infections following lung transplantation.
Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy and prevention protocols for cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and related herpesviruses.
Viral infections account for approximately 30% of all post-transplant infectious complications.
Cytomegalovirus constitutes a primary cause of morbidity, mortality, and chronic lung allograft failure, while Epstein-Barr virus drives post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders.
Implementation of high-sensitivity diagnostic testing alongside targeted prophylactic regimens reduces the incidence and severity of acute and chronic herpesvirus manifestations.
