Résumé

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is one of the major challenges of lung transplantation that may determine outcome. The benefits of ganciclovir prophylaxis seem indisputable, but no consensus has been reached on the optimal duration of therapy. Results with different protocols suggest that efficacy is related to the duration of treatment.
