Abstract

Viral infections are some of the most common complications in transplant recipients as a result of these patients’ immunocompromised status. The ability to accurately detect and identify viral pathogens in transplant patients is important to tailor therapy and improve outcomes. In this chapter, we review the role of molecular tests in the diagnosis and management of human adenovirus (HAdV), BK virus (BKV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), herpes simplex virus (HSV), parvovirus B19, and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and solid-organ transplant (SOT) recipients.
