Hepatic granulomas following liver transplantation: A retrospective survey, and analysis of possible microbiological etiology

CONCLUSION: Our study confirmed that granulomas are frequently seen in liver allograft biopsy specimens, and most often localized in the parenchyma, occurring in the first post-transplant period in patients with AILD, and often seen simultaneously with episodes of ACR. Neither a specific microbiological etiological agent nor a consistent microbiome was detected in any case.PMID:38367601 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2024.155201
