Title
Infection Control Strategies in Transplant Populations
Abstract
Infection control and prevention strategies are of great importance to the healthcare system as a whole, but are even more critical in the immunocompromised host. While transplant recipients present unique challenges to clinicians and infection control practitioners alike, standard approaches to infection control are still of foremost importance in this population. The type of transplantation, degree of immune suppression, and duration of time following transplantation help determine the risk of developing infections with various pathogens, and this chapter will address potentially preventable infections as a function of time after transplantation.
