Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common infection after organ transplantation; it can be a major cause of morbidity, mortality. Optimal prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of active CMV infection enhance transplant outcomes. But, the management of CMV varies considerably among transplant centers. We described the incidence, clinical profile, outcome, and risk factors for the development of CMV infection among renal transplant recipients.
