Abstract     Infections are a major determinant of the outcome of transplantation. Viral infections incidence varies because of a number of factors. There are three general time frames to consider. In the first month after the solid-organ transplantation HSV reactivation predominates among viral infections. From the second through the sixth month CMV, EBV, HHV-6, adenovirus and VZV infections become manifest. Beyond the sixth month VZV reactivation, influenza and CMV retinitis are the most prevalent. There are three time periods after the hematopoetic stem-cell transplantation, as well. RSV infections and HSV reactivation predominate in the first-neutropenic-period. During the phase of the bone marrow reconstitution CMV infections are the most prominent, followed by HHV-6, VZV, RSV and adenoviral infections. In the late period viral infections are mostly caused by VZV, CMV, RSV and influenza.
