Date & Time of Session - 2/17/26 - from 12:00 - 1:00PM

Overview
CMV remains one of the most common and clinically impactful opportunistic infections in solid organ transplant recipients, contributing to increased graft dysfunction and mortality. Despite established prophylaxis and first-line therapies, it is not uncommon to encounter treatment-refractory or antiviral-resistant CMV disease. Refractory disease and resistance pose treatment challenges. This presentation addresses a need to enhance understanding of definitions, resistance testing, and evolving treatment strategies to support evidence-based management and optimize transplant outcomes.

Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Describe CMV in solid organ transplant recipients including standard prophylaxis, risk factors for development, and patient presentation  
2. Differentiate treatment-refractory and antiviral-resistant CMV disease
3. Identify indications for resistance testing for CMV infection
4. Apply guidelines-based and alternative therapies to manage refractory and/or resistant CMV infection

    Target Audience
