Correct answer: C. CMV
- A. Hepatitis A
- B. Hepatitis B
- C. CMV
- D. EBV
Explanation
Cytomegalovirus is a frequent and important opportunistic infection after organ transplantation because immunosuppressive therapy weakens T-cell control of latent CMV. Hepatitis A is not typically reactivated in this setting, and EBV is particularly linked to post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease.
