After cardiovascular causes, infections are the leading cause of death in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Most viral infections occur as reactivation of latent/dormant viruses from the host or the graft. This reactivation can occur because of immunosuppression, use of therapy for graft rejection, or inflammation and tissue injury.
