Abstract
This study gathered information about current practices of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection management in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients at Spanish centers. A wide variety of preemptive antiviral therapy strategies for CMV infection guided by real-time PCR assays was found, yet the incidence of CMV disease was low (<3%).
