Recommendations for the Prevention and Management of Infections in Solid Organ Transplantation (SOT): a European Perspective
This special issue with ten review articles on infections in solid organ tranplant recipients was proposed and coordinated by J. Gavaldà, J.M. Aguado, O. Manuel, P. Grossi, H.H. Hirsch on behalf of the ESCMID Study Group of Infection in Compromised Hosts (ESGICH).
Articles:
- From the classic concepts to modern practice (J. A. Fishman)
- Recommendations for screening of donor and recipient prior to solid organ transplantation and to minimize transmission of donor–derived infections (O. Len et al.)
- Cytomegalovirus infection in solid organ transplant recipients (C. Lumbreras et al.)
- Invasive fungal infections in solid organ transplant recipients (J. Gavaldà et al.)
- Multidrug-resistant bacteria in solid organ transplant recipients (C. Cervera et al.)
- European perspective on human polyomavirus infection, replication and disease in solid organ transplantation (H. H. Hirsch et al.)
- Mycobacterial infections in solid organ transplant recipients (Y. Meije et al.)
- Influenza and other respiratory virus infections in solid organ transplant recipients (O. Manuel et al.)
- Epstein-Barr virus-related post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in solid organ transplant recipients (R. San-Juan et al.)
- Infections in solid organ transplant HIV-infected patients (J. M. Miro et al.)
