The association of mycophenolate mofetil and human herpes virus infection.

Conclusion MMF is a commonly used steroid-sparing agent used to treat dermatological conditions. This review highlights that MMF is positively associated with cytomegalovirus infection. The presented studies were heterogeneous in study design and detection method, with the majority completed on renal transplant patients. Further studies are needed to shed light on the association of MMF with HHV. PMID: 30676825 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
