Title
Malaria in Transplant Candidates and Recipients: Diagnosis and Management
Abstract
Cases of malaria infection have been reported in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; malaria infections may occur as a consequence of a donor-derived infection (from organ or blood), as a relapse of previous P. vivax or P. ovale infection, or as newly acquired infections after transplantation in endemic areas. In donors or candidates with epidemiological risk of malaria infection, sensitive techniques in laboratory surveillance, including molecular tests, to rule out Plasmodium spp. infection should be used, and prompt diagnosis and specific therapy are needed. Pre-travel health advice and malaria prophylaxis are recommended for those traveling to endemic areas. Potential interactions between some malarial and immunosuppressive drugs should be checked.
