Fungal infections in transplant recipients: pros and cons of immunosuppressive and antimicrobial treatment
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The continuing increase in the number of patients treated with transplantation procedures is attested by a worldwide activity of more than 150 000 grafts per year, including solid-organ transplants and haematopoietic stem-cell transplants.1,2 Recipients of solid-organ transplants or haematopoietic stem-cell transplants are exposed to various types of complications, including rejection (mainly graft-versus-host disease) and infectious diseases (especially bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, and occasionally protozoal infections).
