Human cytomegalovirus is the most common virus pathogen in solid organ transplant recipients (kidney, heart, liver, lung and pancreas) and bone marrow transplant recipients. It is the major cause of morbidity and mortality during the first 6 months after transplantation. The number of patients with impaired cell-mediated immunity at risk of CMV disease is ~ 3.1 people in 10,000 in the EU - equivalent to ~ 157,000 people.
