Single mutidrug resistant enterobacteriacae donor-derived infection in four solid organ transplant recipients: a case report

Covid-19 infection in kidney transplant recipients: a case report

Multidrug-resistant bacterial infection in solid organ transplant recipients.

The most frequent complication from infection after solid organ transplantation is bacterial infection. This complication is more frequent in organ transplantation involving the abdominal cavity, such as liver or pancreas transplantation, and less frequent in heart transplant recipients. The sources, clinical characteristics, antibiotic resistance and clinical outcomes vary according to the tim...

Infection in solid-organ transplant recipients.

Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. Increasingly potent immunosuppressive agents have dramatically reduced the incidence of rejection of transplanted organs while increasing patients’ susceptibility to opportunistic infections and cancer.1,2 At the same time, patterns of opportunistic infections after transplantation have been altered by routine antimicrobial prophylaxis for Pneumoc...

Donor-derived West Nile virus infection in solid organ transplant recipients: report of four additional cases and review of clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features.

We describe four solid-organ transplant recipients with donor-derived West Nile virus (WNV) infection (encephalitis 3, asymptomatic 1) from a common donor residing in a region of increased WNV activity. All four transplant recipients had molecular evidence of WNV infection in their serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing. Serum ...

Ganciclovir Resistant Cytomegalovirus in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: An Update

Ganciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is an emerging problem in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Treatments such as foscarnet and cidofovir are fraught with serious side effects that may limit their use in this condition. The aim of this paper is to elucidate the mechanisms on how resistance occurs, when to suspect it clinically and what special tests are necessary to di...
