In consultation with Consulting Editor, Dr. Helen Boucher, Dr. Mossad has created an issue that provides a very current look at the prevention of infections in the solid organ transplant patient. Top authors in the field have contributed clinical reviews on the following topics: Is this organ donor safe; Immunization of solid organ transplant candidates & recipients; Safe living following solid organ transplantation; Strategies for Antimicrobial Stewardship in solid organ transplant recipients; Multi drug resistant bacterial infections in solid organ transplant candidates and recipients; Yeast infections in solid organ transplant recipients; Mold infections in solid organ transplant recipients; Endemic mycoses in solid organ transplant recipients; Prevention and treatment of cytomegalovirus infections in solid organ transplant recipients; Management of BK polyomavirus infection in kidney & pancreas transplant recipients; Prevention and treatment of clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in solid organ transplant recipients; Management of viral hepatitis in solid organ transplant recipients; Prevention and management of tuberculosis in solid organ transplant recipients; Management of mycobacteria other than tuberculosis in solid organ transplant recipients; Management of strongyloidiasis in solid organ transplant recipients; and Transplantation in HIV infected patients. Readers will come away with the clinical information and evidence they need to improve outcomes of the organ transplant patient.
