ABSTRACT
Three case reports of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in seronegative renal transplant recipients of seropossitive donor kidneys are presented. Clinicians need to have a high index of suspicion for CMV disease in such patients. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to decrease morbidity and mortalitiy. Prophylaxis with antiviral and/or CMV-hyperimmunoglobulin may decrease the incidence of serious infection
