Title
Pretransplant Screening for Infection Exposure: Approach to the Patients with Epidemiologic and Geographic Risk Factors
Abstract
Characteristics of transplant candidates can significantly impact risk for infection after transplantation and immunosuppression start. These characteristics include a wide variety of risk factors for potential infection ranging from country of origin and travel history to history of immunosuppression, to certain comorbid conditions, and to diet and occupation. Increased mobility and medical complexity of transplant patients, and the changing epidemiology of pathogen distribution, can complicate the estimation of infection risk. We review here specific risk factors for each type of infection, from bacterial to fungal, viral, and parasitic, with regard to patient risk factors including potential for geographic exposure.
