[The most common infections of lung allografts].
Journal Title: Advances in Respiratory Medicine - Year 2009, Vol 77, Issue 4
Abstract
Allograft's infection is one of the most common complication after lung transplantation. The etiology of pneumonia includes opportunistic and hospital acquired microorganisms. The most frequent are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cytomegalovirus and Aspergillus fumigatus. Infection severity and time of occurrence depend on prophylactic treatment. There are infections, specific to cystic fibrosis, that may play role in peri- and post-operative mortality. Differences occur among transplant centers as to which infections are contraindications for transplantation.
