(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-06)
BackgroundMost studies of post‐transplant CMV infection have focused on either solid organ or hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. A large prospective cohort study involving both lung and HCT recipients provided ...
Adult patients with respiratory syncytial virus infection: impact of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on outcomes
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-08)
BackgroundRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common community‐acquired pathogen responsible for a substantial disease burden in adults. We investigated the outcomes after RSV infection in hospitalized adults over a ...
Risk factors for recurrent C lostridium difficile infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients

UL 54 foscarnet mutation in an hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient with cytomegalovirus disease
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-04)
We present a case of foscarnet ( FOS ) resistance arising from a UL 54 mutation after a short duration of FOS exposure, which has not been previously described in a stem cell transplant recipient, to our knowledge. We ...
Voriconazole is safe and effective as prophylaxis for early and late fungal infections following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Transmission of infection to liver transplant recipients from donors with infective endocarditis: lessons learned
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-02)
Donors not meeting standard criteria, such as those with bacteremia, are now being used in response to the increasing need for organs for transplantation. Recommended strategies to prevent the occurrence of donor‐derived ...
Endemic fungal infections in solid organ and hematopoietic cell transplant recipients enrolled in the Transplant‐Associated Infection Surveillance Network ( TRANSNET )
(Lippincott, Williams, and WilkinsWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-04)
Background Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among solid organ transplant ( SOT ) and hematopoietic cell transplant ( HCT ) recipients, but few data have been reported on the epidemiology ...
Successful treatment of a disseminated infection with extensively drug‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a liver transplant recipient with a fosfomycin‐based multidrug regimen
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2016-10)
Donor‐derived infections with multidrug‐resistant gram‐negative bacteria are associated with poor outcomes, in part because of limited treatment options. Here, we describe a case of donor‐derived, disseminated infection ...
