Implication

Review demonstrates risks of cytomegalovirus antiviral resistance in solid organ transplant recipients, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Key Points

Review the clinical impact and risk factors associated with cytomegalovirus antiviral resistance and provide diagnostic and management strategies for solid organ transplant recipients.
Narrative clinical review evaluating the mechanisms, outcomes, and management of drug-resistant cytomegalovirus infections in solid organ transplant recipients.
The emergence of antiviral-resistant cytomegalovirus diminishes therapeutic efficacy, potentially causing organ allograft loss and patient mortality.
Widespread use of preventative antiviral drugs alongside a narrow selection of effective therapies increases the complexity of managing resistant viral strains.
