Title
Management of Cryptococcosis in Transplant Candidates and Recipients
Abstract
Cryptococcosis is the third most common invasive fungal infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, but is rare among recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Infection often occurs a year after transplantation; however early infections are common in HSCT. Among SOT patients, donorderived infections have been described within 3 months after transplant. The most common disease manifestations are meningitis and pneumonia. The fungi Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are the main causes of cryptococcosis.
