Aspergillus was isolated from 86 (33%) cases, which involved colonisation (n = 50), tracheobronchial lesions (n = 17) or invasive aspergill...

متن کاملMycobacterial infections in lung transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND Immunosuppression and chronic lung disease are known risk factors for mycobacterial infection and might be expected to develop with an increased frequency in lung transplant recipients. We therefore sought to document the incidence and type of mycobacterial infections in a large lung transplant program. METHODS A retrospective review of 219 transplant procedures (60 single lung tra...
متن کاملEarly bacterial infections in lung transplant recipients.
Early bacterial pulmonary infections within 2 weeks after lung transplantation were studied in 29 patients undergoing surgery between December 1989 and May 1992. Suspected pulmonary infections occurred in 11 patients (38 percent). The most common bacterial organisms isolated were Klebsiella pneumoniae (45 percent; 5/11), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (36 percent; 4/11), Escherichia coli (27 percent; 3...
