Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Cryptococcosis in wait-listed liver transplant candidates: Prevalence, manifestations, and risk factors

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection
Background: Liver cirrhosis compromises immunity against cryptococcosis, and liver transplant recipients tend to develop the disease earlier after transplantation, possibly due to unrecognized pretransplant infection.

An Update on Invasive Fungal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections (IFI) remain a significant infection‐related complication in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs), the incidence of which has not changed overtime. With a focus on studies and data published after 2019, this narrative review provides an update on the epidemiology and prevention of IFIs in SOTRs and highlights ...

Epidemiology and Outcomes of Cryptococcal Infections in Liver Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Cohort Study at a US Academic Center

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Among 346 liver transplant recipients, rural residence conferred a 3.3‐fold higher risk of cryptococcal infection — a novel finding suggesting environmental exposure or healthcare access barriers may drive susceptibility. Triple immunosuppression and longer waitlist duration were additional risk factors, with very early infection carrying the worst ...
