Title
Skin and Soft Tissue Infection in Transplant Recipients
Abstract
Transplant-related immunosuppression is an important risk factor for the development of infectious diseases. The skin, as barrier to the outside world and the body’s largest organ, is particularly susceptible to both primary and disseminated infection. For the astute and thorough clinician, the skin is a useful marker of the health of the patient. It may provide clues to systemic disease and offers a chance at early diagnosis and prompt intervention.
