Infectious Disease in Transplantation

Infectious disease in transplantation refers to infections that can occur in people who have received organ or tissue transplants. Since their immune system is often suppressed to prevent rejection, they are more vulnerable to bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These infections can be mild or severe and may develop shortly after the transplant or later on. Managing these infections involves careful monitoring, preventive measures, and treatment with medications. Recognizing and controlling infectious diseases is crucial to ensure the health and success of the transplant, helping the recipient live a stable and healthy life.
