Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to infection after solid organ transplantation (SOT) reflects interactions among epidemiologic exposures, allograft-specific factors, pharmacologic immunosuppression, and host innate and adaptive immune functions. Substantial variability in susceptibility to viral, bacterial, and fungal infections occurs among recipients despite comparable immunosuppressive regimens. Accumulating evidence...
