CMV is the most common infection is post transplant patients which is why we recipients are prescribed Valcyte for a period of months after our transplants as part of the anti- fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral regime of meds along with out immunosuppressants.
In the vast majority of patients, CMV disease responds to treatment with intravenous Cytovene/ganciclovir. Also oral Valcyte/valganciclovir has been shown to be effective in treating mild to moderate cases of CMV disease in transplant recipients. Reduction in the degree of immunosuppression should complement the antiviral treatment of CMV disease.
Best of luck to your mom!
