Purpose
This study is being done to determine how the body fights off a common virus known as Cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV is a virus that commonly infects humans and cause disease in patients with compromised immune function such as those who receive organ and tissue transplant. By knowing how the human body responds to the infection, researchers will be able to develop better methods on how to prevent this infection.
| Study Type: | Observational |
| Study Design: | Natural History, Longitudinal, Defined Population, Prospective Study |
| Official Title: | Kinetics of CMV Replication and CMV-Specific Immune Reconstitution in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients. |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 100 |
| Study Start Date: | June 2005 |
This study is looking at the CMV virus in solid organ transplant recipients. Participants will have data collected through an interview and review of medical records. Participants will also have blood drawn prior to transplant, weekly for 1 month and then at regularly scheduled clinic visits during the first year following transplant. In addition, if CMV develops during this period of time, blood will be drawn till the participant is cured of the disease. All blood draws for the study will take place in conjunction with the regular routine blood work. Participants will be in the study for up to one year after transplant.
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |

| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Participants who will be undergoing a solid organ transplant and are 18 years of age or older.
