    Abstract:
    This study describes the infectious complications in 68 heart-lung transplant patients. We focused interest on early post-transplant infections so called nosocomial pulmonary infections, their exacerbating cofactors their clinical expression, and elements of diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore we describe the principal infections seen during long-term followup, which are opportunist infections caused most often by immunosuppression: Cytomegalovirus infections have a high incidence with serious clinical consequences in heart-lung transplant patients. As well as pneumocystis carinii infections and fungal infections, such as aspergillosis.
