ABSTRACT
Currently available anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) agents are sometimes poorly tolerated, owing to their side effects. Letermovir is a novel anti-CMV drug that is only approved for CMV prophylaxis in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, with fewer side effects. We report the case of a heart transplant recipient with UL97 mutation (L595F) ganciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus colitis who was successfully treated with off-label use of letermovir. In treating CMV infection or disease with letermovir, a transient rise or lag in the clearance of CMV-DNA polymerase chain reaction levels has been observed. Our case suggests that CMV-pp65 antigenemia can be an additional marker of treatment efficacy.
