Target Audience and Goal Statement

Transplantation, infectious diseases, nephrology, internal medicine, and pharmacy clinicians who manage patients with refractory or resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) after solid organ transplantation.

The goal of this activity is to provide clinicians with the clinical tools necessary to identify and manage treatment-refractory and drug-resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) in patients after solid organ transplantation (SOT). A panel of infectious diseases experts review current CMV treatment guidelines, discuss antiviral resistance testing, and provide insights for management with a new antiviral therapeutic option. An experienced patient with CMV provides important practical take-aways for clinicians to use with their own patients with SOT.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better be able to:

Employ current CMV treatment guidelines for the use of antiviral therapies and management of their adverse effects
Identify treatment-refractory and drug-resistant CMV by correctly interpreting antiviral resistance testing results
Select transplant patients who will benefit from the efficacy and reduced toxicity of new CMV therapy
