Title
Cutaneous Lesions that Mimic Infection in Transplant Patients
Abstract
Dermatologists are often called upon to evaluate skin lesions in organ transplant patients, especially when an infectious etiology is suspected. This section will review some of the non-infectious skin eruptions that mimic cutaneous infections. This chapter is intended to help the clinician generate a differential diagnosis when evaluating cutaneous lesions in organ transplant patients. Using the morphology of the primary lesion as a starting point, we then list the non-infectious diagnosis that could be considered and the infectious process it mimics.
