Prevention and management of CMV-related problems after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Prevention and management of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has improved substantially in the past decade. However, with this improvement, there is increased complexity in deciding which diagnostic tests, treatment strategies and immunologic assessments are optimal for different patient populations. The purpose of this review is to address certain practical problems that commonly arise and suggest a suitable approach to management that should have wide applicability.
