Title
Cytomegalovirus in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Abstract
Human herpesvirus 5, better known as cytomegalovirus (CMV), infects 50–90% of the adult population worldwide and is the most common opportunistic infection in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, causing significant morbidity and mortality [1–6]. Without prophylaxis, CMV reactivation occurs in up to 70–80% of CMV-seropositive individuals [6–9]. This chapter will review the current understanding of CMV infection in HSCT recipients focusing on emerging concepts and updated recommendations for CMV prevention, diagnosis, and management.
