Abstract

Alemtuzumab recipients had a high incidence of CMV disease as well as BK virus-associated HC compared with the ATG recipients. The dose of alemtuzumab should be tailored to patients' risk; in addition, the implementation of the appropriate prophylaxis for CMV and early detection strategies for BK virus are recommended.
