  • Title: Parasitic infections in solid organ transplant recipients.
    Author: Muñoz P, Valerio M, Puga D, Bouza E.
    Journal: Infect Dis Clin North Am; 2010 Jun; 24(2):461-95. PubMed ID: 20466279.
    Abstract:
    Parasitic infections are an uncommon but potentially severe complication in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. An increase in donors who have emigrated from tropical areas and more transplant recipients traveling to endemic areas have led to a rise in parasitic infections reported among SOT recipients. Clinicians should include these infections in their differential diagnosis and promote adherence to preventive measures in SOT recipients.
