  • Title: Three cases of cytomegalovirus infection following pancreatic islet transplantation.
    Author: Yakubovich N, Fung MA, Thompson DM.
    Journal: Transplant Proc; 2007 Jun; 39(5):1599-603. PubMed ID: 17580197.
    Abstract:
    Transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV) is uncommon in patients transplanted with CMV-mismatched pancreatic islets, and CMV-seropositive recipients rarely experience reactivation of the virus or reinfection from a CMV-positive graft. This study describes three cases of CMV infection following islet transplantation for type 1 diabetes despite prophylaxis with valganciclovir. Further studies are needed to evaluate risk factors for CMV transmission and reactivation in this patient population.
