Abstract
ISSN In CMV high-risk kidney transplant recipients (KTR), recommended antiviral human cytomegalovirus (CMV) treatment can lead to nephrotoxicity and antiviral resistance. In this case report, we report the development of a combined CMV-UL97 C592F and CMV UL54 T503I resistance mutation in a high-risk KTR most probably linked to the previous treatment with valganciclovir (valGCV) and ganciclovir (GCV). Routine CMV screening, in addition with testing of CMV immunity and applied stewardship programs for ganciclovir might have been helpful in preventing the development of these mutations in this patient.

期刊介绍:
Reviews in Medical Microbiology is a quarterly review journal which provides a balanced coverage of the whole field of medical microbiology. The Journal publishes state-of-the art reviews, mini-reviews, case presentations and original research from on-going research of the latest developments and techniques in medical microbiology, virology, mycology, parasitology, clinical microbiology, and hospital infection. In addition, PhD-Review - a platform for young researchers, and biographical Bio-Sketch articles are also considered. Reviews are concise, authoritative, and readable synthesis of the latest information on its subject, and references are limited to the fifty key sources for full reviews and twenty for mini-reviews. Reviews in Medical Microbiology is the perfect way for both qualified and trainee microbiologists, and researchers and clinicians with an interest in microbiology, to stay fully informed of the latest developments in medical microbiology. The journal is a valuable resource for educational and teaching purposes.
