Post-Transplant Infections

Post-transplant infections are illnesses that can occur after a person receives an organ transplant. Because medicines used to prevent organ rejection weaken the immune system, the body becomes more vulnerable to infections from bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. These infections can affect various parts of the body and may cause symptoms like fever, fatigue, or organ-specific issues. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications. Medical teams closely monitor patients after transplant to manage infection risks and maintain overall health.
