Abstract
Pediatric lung transplant recipients <3 years of age are at increased risk of adenovirus pneumonia early after transplantation. Cidofovir, when used in the modified dosing regimen and in combination with IVIg and renal protection measures, is a safe and potentially effective treatment option for adenovirus pneumonia in lung transplant recipients.
