Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B Genotype Distribution in Italian Transplant Patients

Conclusions: Mixed infections seem to be prevalent in Italian transplant patients; it is likely that mixed infections are more difficult to control by immunological response in comparison to single genotype infections. In this context, the genetic profile of infecting viruses and relation to clinical outcome should be investigated, also taking into account the CMV-specific cellular immune response.Intervirology
