Asymptomatic Viral Carriage in Lung Transplant Recipients and Donors on Day of Transplant

Purpose: The aim of this pilot study is to estimate prevalence of asymptomatic community respiratory viral (CRV) carriage in lung transplant (LuTx) recipients and donors at the time of transplant, and to determine if asymptomatic carriage of CRVs increases the risk of post-transplant infection, allograft rejection or mortality.
