Active cytomegalovirus infection in mechanically ventilated patients with sepsis
Active CMV infection is common and associated with adverse clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients with sepsis. A low level of hemoglobin is an independent risk factor for active CMV infection. Further prospective studies are warranted to assess the efficacy of initiating prophylactic and preemptive antiviral therapies among patients with sepsis disorders.
