Pretransplant Screening

Donor screen

  • Bacterial: syphilis, urine and blood cultures, bronchoalveolar lavage
  • Viral: CMV, EBV, HIV HBV, HCV, HSV, VZV, HTLV-1
  • Other: Strongyloides, Chagas (sometimes)

Recipient Screen

  • Prednisone: TB/HBV/Strongy
  • Fludarabine:
    • Lasts 6-12 months after last dose
    • Listeria, PCP, and Nocardia
  • Rituximab: as well as B-cell, can allow HBV and PJP infections
  • Adalimumab: T-cell deficiency for months after last dose
  • TNF-alpha inhibitors: like prednisone

Post-Transplant Infections

Early Infections (≤30 days)

  • T-cell deficit greater than B-cell
  • Surgical site infection
    • Bacterial
    • Fungal: Aspergillus and Mucor Organ-specific Cardiac
  • LVAD infection
  • Mycobacterial infection (very late) Lungs
  • Donor-derived VAP
  • Anastomotic infection, including fungal Liver: anastamotic leak, including VRE peritonitis Hospital-acquired: central line infections and resistant organisms Donor-derived bacterial infections, including syphilis

Late Infections (30 days to 3-6 months)

  • T-cell deficit greater than B-cell
  • Reactivation infections
  • EBV/CMV/HSV/VZV
  • TB, PCP, invasive fungal infections Occur as your withdraw prophylactic antimicrobials

Very Late Infections (>6 months)

  • B-cell deficits and variable T-cell deficits
  • Usually regular community-acquired infections, but more severe
