Timeline of infections in solid organ transplantation
Jui Athavale-Wad, Vidya KrishnaAbstract
Solid organ transplantation (SOT), although more common in the adult population, is increasingly being performed in pediatric patients as well. The timeline of infection in SOT depends upon the organ, the surgical intervention, and the lifetime immunosuppression after transplant. Knowledge about how these factors play roles in the development of infections can aid in timely diagnosis and treatment.
