Abstract

Resistant and refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia can limit the provision of chemotherapy due to myelosuppression and end-organ dysfunction. Few therapies are available for children with clinically significant CMV viremia. We successfully used maribavir for a 4-year-old patient with lymphoma to complete his chemotherapy course. Resistance to maribavir did result after many months of therapy.
