What is the outlook for transplant patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection?

Recovery might take a long time, and patients are advised to increase activity and exercise gradually, while including periods of rest throughout the recovery. There is no cure for CMV. Once you have been infected with CMV, the virus remains inactive and can cause infection again in the future. However, most patients are able to stop antiviral medications after treatment is completed.
