Abstract Background Liver transplantation is considered to be the only curative treatment for patients with end stage liver disease. Postoperative infection remains to be one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the past years. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection although considered to be a weak viral infection that usually passes asymptomatic in immunocompetent patients, however, it is considered one of the most common pathogens causing morbidities and mortality in liver transplant recipients. Multiple studies have been done to assess the risk factors for developing CMV infection. Objective Identification of risk factors predicting Cytomegalovirus infection in liver transplant recipients following transplantation. Methods This retrospective study was conducted on 194 patients and their donors who underwent living donor liver transplantation operation at Ain Shams centre for organ transplantation (ASCOT) at Ain Shams specialized hospital in the period between January 2010 and December 2016 with at least one year follow up period after operation for the recipient group. Results In our study, 194 patients undergoing liver transplantation at Ain shams centre for organ transplantation over seven years from January 2010 to December 2016 have been followed to assess risk factors affecting CMV infection development. Chronic rejection was found to be the most common factor associated with CMV infection followed by Cyclosporin (Neoral) as main postoperative immunosuppressant following liver transplantation. Other factors that were found to carry risk for CMV infection included younger age, advanced MELD score, positive CMV IgM status of the donors and recipients. Conclusion Differentiation of Cytomegalovirus disease from Cytomegalovirus infection isn’t always available as it requires tissue invasive techniques. Multiple risk factors have been attributed to cause Cytomegalovirus infection (viremia) . In our study, rejection (chronic rejection) was the factor that carries highest risk for Cytomegalovirus infection development followed by Cyclosporin .
