[Cytomeglovirus infection after liver transplantation].

OBJECTIVE

To study the prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after liver transplantation.

METHODS

The clinical data of 10 patients receiving liver transplantation from July 1999 to October 2000 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed along with literature review.

RESULTS

CMV infection occurred asymptomatic cally in 6 patients, of whom, 5 were cured.

CONCLUSIONS

Fluorogenic quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR) is effective, sensitive and highly specific for detecting CMV infection. It is important to monitor the status of CMV infection in patients receiving liver transplantation preoperatively and postoperatively. The key point for prophylaxis and treatment of CMV infection is early prevention and treatment after operation. Ganciclovir can exert significant therapeutic effects on CMV infection.
