Abstract INTRODUCTION: Human cytomegalovirus (Orthoherpesviridae: Herpesvirales: Cytomegalovirus: Cytomegalovirus humanbeta 5) (HCMV) is one of the most commonly detected viruses in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (allo-HSCT) transplants. However, the emergence of resistance to antiviral drugs such as ganciclovir (GCV) poses a challenge in managing these patients. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and impact of mutations in the HCMV UL97 gene associated with resistance to GCV on the course of infection among allo-HSCT patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study examined the association between UL97 mutations and the clinical course of HCMV infection in allo-HSCT patients. Genetic sequencing was performed to identify mutations, and their impact on viral replication and resistance to GCV was assessed. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Six mutations were identified (D490A, T502A, C592G, C592F, E596G, C603W). C592G, C592F, E596G, and C603W are associated with resistance to antiviral drugs, while D490A and T502A described for the first time. When comparing patients with wild-type and those carrying the mutant variant, several parameters of peripheral blood were significantly lower in the former group. The median time to peak viral load following allo-HSCT, duration of viremia, and rate of virological response to high-dose therapy also differed significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSION: It was shown that approximately one third (4 out of 14) of allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients had mutations associated with resistance to GCV. Patients carrying the mutant variant of HCMV had longer viremia and took longer to achieve a negative virological test result after starting high-dose therapy. Performing genotyping may help make more evidence-based therapeutic decisions.
