Title
Invasive Fungal Disease in the Transplant Population: An Overview
Abstract
There are numerous fungal pathogens which merit consideration in the hematopoietic cell and solid organ transplant recipients including yeasts, filamentous molds, and endemic fungi. Important differences in the incidence, types, and timeline of infections exist among the differing transplant groups. The overall risk of invasive fungal infection is affected by a multitude of factors including the transplant donor and recipient as well as transplant type. These considerations guide the implementation of prophylactic strategies and assist in targeting those at highest risk of fungal disease.
