CMV disease causes significant morbidity and mortality in LTRs, directly affecting transplant outcomes. Due to the increased risk of IFIs, antifungal prophylaxis for CMV disease may be appropriate. Postoperative CMV monitoring should be considered after massive transfusion, even in low-risk serostatus constellations. In case of biliary complications, biliary CMV monitoring may be appropriate in the case of CMV-DNA blood-negative patients.
