title: Cytomegalovirus infection in solid organ transplantation.
abstract: Cytomegalovirus infection remains a serious threat to solid transplant recipients. Despite advances in this field, there are still difficulties in the diagnosis of the disease and there are questions about the best and most cost-effective strategy to prevent infection and its direct and indirect consequences in the short and long term. All these points are discussed and updated in this chapter.
