Multicenter prospective surveillance data to determine disease burden and secular trends are lacking. METHODS The Transplant-Associated Infection Surveillance Network (TRANSNET) is a consortium of 23 US transplant centers, including 15 that contributed to the organ tran...
متن کاملPhaeohyphomycosis in transplant recipients: Results from the Transplant Associated Infection Surveillance Network (TRANSNET).
Transplant recipients are at a high risk for developing invasive fungal infections. The agents of phaeohyphomycosis are environmental molds found worldwide, and they cause a broad spectrum of disease including skin and subcutaneous lesions, pneumonia, central nervous system disease, fungemia, and disseminated disease. Using data from the Transplant Associated Infection Surveillance Network (TRA...
متن کاملDiagnosis of central nervous system mycoses in solid organ transplant recipients.
TO THE EDITOR—We read with interest the informative review by Wright and Fishman about central nervous system (CNS) syndromes in recipients of solid organ transplant (SOT) [1]. However, we believe that at least 2 points of their article deserve comments. First, in their Table 4, the authors report the “approximate incidence and usual post-transplant onset” of aspergillosis, cryptococcosis, and ...
متن کامل[Epidemiology of invasive fungal infection in solid organ transplant].
Despite advances made in the last decades, invasive fungal infections (IFI) continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. The most common pathogens causing IFI are Candida species, followed by Aspergillus and Cryptococcus. A shift in the epidemiology of IFI has been reported in the last few years. Non-Candida albicans Candida species and non-Asper...
متن کاملRole of New Antifungal Agents in the Treatment of Invasive Fungal Infections in Transplant Recipients: Isavuconazole and New Posaconazole Formulations
Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Transplant patients are at risk for such invasive fungal infections. The most common invasive fungal infections are invasive candidiasis in the SOT and invasive aspergillosis in the HSCT. In this article, we will discuss the epidemi...
