There are limited data for letermovir as primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis in patients less than 18 years of age. We report 9 adolescent patients who received letermovir following hematopoietic cell transplantation. No patients developed clinically significant CMV while taking letermovir. Letermovir was well tolerated and efficacious in preventing CMV infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
