Relationship of cytomegalovirus viral load in blood to pneumonitis in lung transplant recipients.

abstract：:Nonadherence to immunosuppressants in renal transplant recipients is a major factor affecting graft survival, but it is difficult to detect accurately in clinical practice. Adherence was measured in 153 adult renal transplant recipients using self-report questionnaires and interview, clinician rating, and cyclosporine...
