Résumé
Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease remains an important
cause of morbidity after kidney transplantation and has been associated
with acute rejection, graft loss and other indirect effects.
A 3-month course of VGC prophylaxis reduces the incidence of CMV
disease. However, little is known about the indirect effects of lateonset
CMV disease after VGC prophylaxis.
Objective: To evaluate the impact and indirect consequences of
late-onset CMV disease after VGC prophylaxis in kidney transplant
recipients.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 61 consecutive adult kidney
transplant recipient with positive CMV serology (donor or recipient)
who received VGC prophylaxis for 3 months and completed
a follow-up of at least 2 years post-transplantation. Patients who
developed CMV disease within 1 year after transplantation were
compared to CMV disease-free patients for renal function (plasma
creatinine values) at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months and for the incidence
of graft loss, acute rejection, diabetes, cancer and opportunistic
infections.
Results: 8/61 (13%) patients developed CMV disease at a median of
131 days after transplantation (range: 98-220). The CMV incidence
in D+/R- high risk patients was 6/18 (33%), while it was 2/43 (5%) in
intermediate-risk patients (p < 0.01). All 8 patients were treated
by oral valganciclovir (median 39 days; range: 19-119) with a complete
resolution of CMV disease. As shown in the figure, there was
no difference in creatinine values between the two groups at any
time during follow-up. There was no graft loss, and the incidence
of acute rejection, cancer and opportunistic infections did not differ
between the two groups. The incidence of post-transplant diabetes
was higher (38% vs 15%) in patients with CMV disease, but
this difference was not significant (p = 0.4).
Conclusions: An incidence of 13% of late-onset CMV disease was
observed despite 3 months VGC prophylaxis. However, no indirect
consequences were found. Moreover, therapy of CMV disease by
oral VGC was effective and safe. Larger trials are needed to study
whether late-onset CMV disease is associated with indirect consequences,
as described with early-onset CMV.
