Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.Out of 274 lung transplant (LTx) patients, 89 (32%) developed invasive aspergillosis IA. Factors associated with IA were mycophenolate mofetil use, airway stenosis, Aspergillus cultured pre‐LTx, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and acute rejection. The role of nebulized amphotericin B and statins for prevention of IA remains unclear. ABSTRACT

Bacteremia in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients within 1 Year of Transplant
Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.We retrospectively reviewed bloodstream infections (BSI) in pediatric recipients of solid organ transplants over a 14‐year period. Overall BSI rates were significant but decreased over time. Risk factors for BSI were identified which may help identify interventions which further decrease rates.
