Screening of donor and recipient in solid organ transplantation.
Pretransplant screening of potential organ donors and recipients is essential to the success of solid organ transplantation (1–4). The goals of pretransplant infectious disease screening are to identify conditions which may disqualify either donor or recipient; identify and treat active infection pretransplant; recognize and (if possible) define the risk of infection and develop strategies for ...

Among patients whose solid organ transplantation was complicated by coccidioidomycosis, the infection has a variety of clinical presentations. Disseminat...
متن کاملMacrophages in solid organ transplantation
Macrophages are highly plastic hematopoietic cells with diversified functions related to their anatomic location and differentiation states. A number of recent studies have examined the role of macrophages in solid organ transplantation. These studies show that macrophages can induce allograft injury but, conversely, can also promote tissue repair in ischemia-reperfusion injury and acute reject...
متن کاملTuberculosis in Solid Organ Transplantation
Active tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major opportunistic infections that may occur in solid organ transplant recipients. Diagnosis and treatment of latent and active TB are challenging in this population due to lack of randomized clinical trials. In this review, we discuss the clinical manifestations of TB, diagnosis of latent TB and treatment of both latent and active TB.
متن کاملAspergillosis in solid organ transplantation.
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) occurs in 1–15% of the solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Mortality rate in transplant recipients with IA historically has ranged from 65% to 92% (1–4). However, currently reported mortality rate in IA among SOT recipients is 22% (5). An estimated 9.3– 16.9% of all deaths in transplant recipients in the first year have been considered attributable to IA (6). Al...
