ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION Over the past two decades, significant advances were made in the management
of infections occurring after transplantation. Even so, infection remains a leading complication of organ transplantation, and the prevention and management of such infections are an important element of care in transplant recipients. Infec tions are associated with allograft rejection, and therefore, a key to a successful transplantation is the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious compli cations.
