HCMV an opportunistic pathogen for patients impaired cellular immunity. pneumonia common presentation disease immunocompromised patients. incidence pneumonitis can be as high 90% lung transplant recipients. This paper takes fresh look at the challenging perspectives molecular, immunologic, cellular, diagnostic, clinical, therapeutic characteristics future targets development antiviral strategies.
