Summary

Transplant Infections provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections affecting patients who have received stem cell or solid organ transplants. Infections, both common and unusual, of bacterial, viral, and fungal origin are discussed, and infection prevention and control strategies are also presented. This book is unique in its field as a practical, clinically focused guide that nonetheless covers a wide range of infections affecting transplant patients. Coverage of tropical infections and West Nile virus have been expanded in this edition.
