Parasitic Infections Associated with Unfavourable Outcomes in Transplant Recipients.

Conclusions. Solid organ and bone marrow transplantations, blood transfusions and immunosuppressive treatment are associated with a small but real risk of parasitic infections in European citizens. In patients with severe parasitic infection, i.e., those with lung or brain involvement or a disseminated disease, the progression is very rapid and the prognosis is bad. Establishing a diagnosis before the patient's death is challenging. PMID: 30344258 [PubMed - in process]
