Title
Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in the Age of Emerging Transplant Infections
Abstract
Solid organ transplantation and hematopoietic cell transplantation are life-saving procedures, yet carry significant infection risk due to the significant and prolonged immunosuppression they entail. Infection prevention strategies using antibiotic prophylaxis can mitigate problems that arise through immunosuppression, especially if clinicians have a keen awareness for local epidemiology and patient-specific microbiological factors. Antifungal prophylaxis, especially in stem cell transplantation, is now standard of care for most institutions. Although there is variability in the incidence and seasonality of viral disease in transplanted populations, a tailored approach to antiviral prophylaxis can also substantially attenuate the risk of post-transplant disease.
