TRATAMIENTO ANTICIPADO CON GANCICLOVIR ORAL EN TRANSPLANTE RENAL PEDIATRICO

El trabajo defiende la utilidad del tratamiento anticipado con ganciclovir oral guiado por la monitorización de la antigenemia en sangre frente a la profilaxis continua en la prevención de la enfermedad por citomegalovirus en niños con transplante renal.
