Symposium:
State-of-the-art update on CMV and other herpesviruses in solid organ transplantation
Symposium summary:
Viral infections cause significant morbidity and mortality after transplantation. Multiple new developments in CMV diagnostics and therapeutics hold significant promise to improve management. In addition, viruses such as EBV and others pose ongoing challenges. Post-transplant viral monitoring, using standardized assays, plays a vital role in aiding clinicians improve patient outcomes related to viral infection. Despite improvements, significant knowledge gaps in post-transplant viral monitoring remain. In addition, several new and emerging therapies specifically for CMV management are starting to become available. This symposium highlights many of the common challenges that clinicians face, and provides a state-of-the-art update on new developments in the detection and management of viruses after transplant with a focus on CMV.
