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

The Challenge of Bacterial Infections During Intensive Care Unit Stay After Heart Transplantation
Abstract Background Infections occurring in the early post–heart transplant (HT) period heavily contribute to morbidity and mortality. Our goal is to evaluate the incidence of hospital‐acquired pneumonia/ventilator‐associated pneumonia (HAP/VAPs) and/or bloodstream infections (BSIs) after HT during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay and identify their ...
