Standard treatments, such as ganciclovir and valganciclovir, are usually effective, but refractory CMV requires alternatives like foscarnet, cidofovir, or immunotherapies. New treatments, such as maribavir, have shown promise for refractory cases. This report discusses a woman in her 50s with sarcoidosis, previously treated with infliximab, leflunomide, and hydroxychloroquine, who developed refractory CMV. Initial treatment with ganciclovir and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was discontinued due to severe pancytopenia, leading to the initiation of foscarnet. Despite this, CMV viremia persisted, leading to off-label use of maribavir, which reduced the viral load with mild gastrointestinal side effects. The patient also developed haemophagocytic syndrome, complicating her condition.Unfortunately, she succumbed to an opportunistic infection, leaving the complete efficacy of maribavir unconfirmed.

The range in reduction in ESA dose was 5.45% (95% CI -7.97% to +18.87%) to 49.97% (95% CI 20.32% to 79.61%) in the pharmacist-managed group versus the control group (n=2115).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Low-quality data with high risk of bias suggest that pharmacist-managed renal anaemia may improve the percentage of haemoglobin within target range and reduce the ESA dose. However, meta-analysis was impossible due to substantial heterogeneity. Therefore, no definite conclusions could be drawn on the effectiveness of pharmacist-managed dosing of ESA in renal anaemia.</p><p><strong>Prospero registration number: </strong>CRD42021243678.</p>","PeriodicalId":12050,"journal":{"name":"European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice","volume":" ","pages":"199-205"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143457242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
