Title
Influenza Infections in Solid Organ and Stem Cell Transplant Recipients
Abstract
Influenza virus is a common respiratory virus in solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients. Influenza infection in immunocompromised hosts can result in severe disease, as compared to general population. Risk factors for severe influenza infection in transplant recipients include treatment with antilymphocyte globulin, presence of lower respiratory disease, and infection early after transplantation. Transplant programs should act to optimize prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of influenza infection in this population in order to achieve better transplant outcomes.
