ABSTRACT
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains an important pathogen in organ transplant recipients, and ganciclovir has been the antiviral agent of choice both for prevention and treatment of CMV disease. Recently ganciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus has been reported with increasing frequency in organ transplant recipient and is an emerging clinical problem in transplant recipients. Ganciclovir-resistant CMV infection has been associated with clinical progression of CMV disease and high mortality even with foscarnet therapy. We report here a case of disseminated ganciclovir-resistant CMV disease in a 34-year-old renal transplant recipient, who died of multiorgan failure despite treatment with both ganciclovir and foscarnet.
