Six intestinal transplanted patients were monitored for CMV reactivation by pp65 antigenemia. In addition, the CMV viral load of intestinal biopsies was quantified to verify on a possible clinical meaning of this viral marker in order to the organ reject. No relationship emerged between this event and high amounts of CMV genomes in intestinal tissues.
