Reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), as well as the recurrence of hepatitis C virus (HCV), occurs in the post liver transplantation period. However, their correlations remain questionable. The objectives of this study were to analyze the presence of CMV DNA and HHV-6 DNA in pre-transplant and post-transplant liver graft biopsies and to determine any correlations with CMV disease and HCV recurrence.
