Popis: Purpose Management of neutropenia, the main side effect of Valganciclovir, may affect final transplant results. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of Valganciclovir in D+/R- patients. The secondary objectives are to assess the impact of neutropenia and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) daily dosage modification on the outcomes of the transplant. Methods We performed a single-center retrospective study from 01/01/2010 to 12/31/2018 including 531 consecutive lung transplant patients. Results 59 of the 108 D+/R- patients (55%) experienced at least one episode of neutropenia during the first posttransplant year leading to its premature withdrawal for 31 patients (29%). Among D+/R- patients, subgroup of premature vGCV withdrawal experienced significantly more neutropenia and reduction of MMF in comparison with complete vGCV treatment subgroup (87% vs 42%, p Conclusion Considering adverse effects associated with Valganciclovir one-year treatment may have a negative impact on the outcomes of the transplant, an alternative should be proposed.
