Kidney transplant patients under an immunosuppressive treatment based on anti-calcineurin and mycophenolate-mofetil and induction therapy with rATG who suffer from early systemic viral replication by the CMV virus could benefit from the introduction of an i-mTor drug. (everolimus) to replace mycophenolate mofetil. This conversion would be effective in slowing down and controlling viral expansion without the need to initiate any prophylactic anti-viral therapy thanks to the activation of the CMV-specific cellular effector response or to an antiviral effect of i-Mtor itself.
