Across all organs, acyclovir 400\u00a0mg twice daily was utilized by the majority of respondents (70.4%), with most using prophylaxis for a duration of 3 months (68.8%). No respondents reported use of famciclovir at their institution. In the retrospective review there were no documented cases of HSV\/VZV\/CMV infection during the 3 months of famciclovir prophylaxis, and only one patient (1.3%) later developed VZV infection at 12 months post\u2010transplant. One patient (1.3%) required premature discontinuation of famciclovir due to concern for acute interstitial nephritis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nationwide, the most common antiviral prophylaxis used in CMV low\u2010risk SOT recipients is acyclovir 400\u00a0mg twice daily. Among patients receiving once daily famciclovir for CMV low\u2010risk antiviral prophylaxis, there was no HSV\/VZV\/CMV infection while on prophylaxis. Once daily famciclovir may provide an effective and convenient once daily dosing regimen for antiviral prophylaxis in CMV low\u2010risk SOT recipients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tid.13711","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,11]],"date-time":"2021-08-11T17:47:28Z","timestamp":1628704048000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evaluation
