Transplant Infectious Disease

Transplant Infectious Disease refers to infections that can occur in patients who have received organ transplants, such as a kidney or heart. After a transplant, the body's immune system is weakened to prevent rejection of the new organ, making patients more susceptible to infections. These infections can come from various sources, including the donor organ, the environment, or complications from medications. Managing transplant infectious diseases is crucial, as it helps protect the health of transplant recipients and ensures the success of the transplant. Regular monitoring and preventive measures are key components of post-transplant care.
