There is a high prevalence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) seropositivity in developing countries. An apparent risk of CMV reactivation increases following hematopoeitic stem cell transplantation. With effective surveillance and timely treatment using anti-viral therapy, morbidity and mortality associated with CMV reactivation can be reduced.
