Susan D. Moffatt-Bruce, MD, PhD, John Karamichalis, MD, Robert C. Robbins, MD, Richard I. Whyte, MD, James Theodore, MD, Bruce A.

2 Fig 1 The incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in heart-lung transplant (HLT; ♦) recipients was 58%, 59%, and 62% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The incidence of cytomegalovirus infection in the double-lung transplant (DLT; ■) recipients was significantly less at 45%, 47%, and 47% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively (p < 0.05).

3 Fig 2 The incidence of bronchiolitic obliterans syndrome (BOS) in the heart-lung transplant (HLT; ♦) recipients was 15%, 41%, and 48% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The incidence of bronchiolitic obliterans syndrome in the double-lung transplant (DLT; ■) recipients was 14%, 33%, and 46% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between these groups with respect to bronchiolitic obliterans syndrome.
