Donor-derived infections: The Swiss perspective.

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: While Switzerland has not yet established a systematic approach, the small size of the country and the intensive collaboration between the transplant infectious disease teams facilitate a rapid communication once a donor-derived infection is suspected. Critical information regarding donor infections is shared rapidly, and appropriate measures are discussed. The long-term observational Swiss Transplant Cohort Study, which includes >92% of all solid organ recipients collects all relevant infectious disease episodes and facilitates detection of patterns of potential donor-derived infection.
