Risk factors and clinical outcomes of cytomegalovirus disease occurring more than one year post solid organ transplantation

Abstract: CMV disease continues to occur after the first year post solid organ transplantation, particularly in heart transplant recipients, and can be associated with poor outcomes. CMV should be suspected in patients with symptoms or laboratory findings consistent with CMV, even if the patients present >1 year post transplant.

“…Significant research has been devoted to the prevention of CMV disease after kidney transplantation, and CMV-seronegative recipients of organs from CMV-seropositive donors (D+/R−), as well as CMV-seropositive transplant recipients (R+) in the United States now generally receive prophylactic anti-CMV therapy for at least 3 months post-transplant (3;1014). This however has led to the emergence of delayed-onset CMV disease, typically categorized as either late-onset CMV disease (occurring between discontinuation of anti-CMV prophylaxis and 1 year post-transplant) (13;1519), or very late-onset CMV disease (occurring more than 1 year post-transplant) (1921). …”

“…Entre las manifestaciones clínicas de la enfermedad por CMV se encuentra comúnmente la gastrointestinal en pacientes con posterioridad a trasplante de órganos sólidos 29,30 ; similar situación se presenta en los trasplantes de corazón 31 . En nuestra serie, un paciente de los dos que desarrollaron la enfermedad tuvo un compromiso gastrointestinal manifestado por dolor abdominal difuso y deposiciones acuosas.…”

“…CMV prophylaxis administered for 3 to 6 months post-transplant to CMV-seronegative recipients of kidneys from CMV-seropositive donors and CMV-seropositive recipients has decreased the incidence of active CMV infection and disease early after transplantation (46). However, delayed-onset CMV disease can occur after stopping prophylaxis (713), and is associated with an increased risk of death (7,1315). No national surveillance system for active CMV infection or disease exists, thereby limiting our ability to compare the real-world effectiveness of different CMV prevention strategies used by kidney transplant centers in the United States.…”
