HINT HINT – Herpes Virus Infections in Kidney Transplant Patients. Page Content About Vaccination against varicella zoster virus (VZV) is routinely offered to all kidney transplant recipients and candidates in Denmark. In this exploratory observational study, the VZV specific humoral and cellular immune response in kidney transplant candidates and recipients will be characterized at different time points in relation to transplantation, vaccination and infections. More knowledge on the immune reaction to transplantation, VZV vaccination and VZV infections may provide improved strategies for prevention and treatment of VZV infections in kidney transplant candidates and recipients.The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with identifier NCT050604911 Preliminary results Recruitment is ongoing and preliminary results are therefore pending.
