Outcomes Following Reduction of Immunosuppression in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients with Cryptococcosis.
Background: Cryptococcosis (crypto) is the third most common fungal infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Although reduction of immunosuppression (IS) may improve patient outcomes…2017 American Transplant Congress
MicroRNAs and Long Non-Coding RNAs as Potential Novel Biomarkers in Transplanted Patients with Candida Infection.
There is an urgent need to develop sensitive and specific biomarkers for the early diagnosis of candida infection in transplanted patients. miRNAs and lncRNAs are…2017 American Transplant Congress
Incidence of Fungal and Viral Infections Following Rituximab Use in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago, IL
Rituximab is used off-label in solid organ transplant for desensitization and treatment of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). It targets CD20 and results in B cell depletion.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Risk Factors for Cryptococcal Disease in Transplant as Compared with Non-Transplant Patients: A Single Center Study.
Purpose: To examine clinical characteristics of non-HIV, immunocompromised patients diagnosed with cryptococcal disease, including solid-organ transplant (SOT) recipients.Methods: We performed retrospective chart review of non-HIV,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Prevalence of Cutaneous Disease in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A 5-Year Study from a Medical -Surgical Transplant Dermatology Center.
Dermatology, Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA
Background: Solid organ transplant recipients (OTR) on chronic immunosuppression exhibit heightened risk of developing a myriad of cutaneous manifestations compared to non-transplant patients, including cutaneous…2017 American Transplant Congress
Echinocandins in Lung Transplant Recipients (LTRs).
Purpose: Echinocandins are a class of antifungal drugs that have activity against Aspergillus species. However, the use of echinocandins in LTRs is not well reported.…2017 American Transplant Congress
CCR5-Mediated Recruitment of NK Cells to the Kidney Is Critical for Resistance to Candida albicans Infections.
We previously showed that CCR5 mediates recruitment of NK cells to the kidney after renal ischemia and reperfusion, which in turn induce the production of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia: Late and Serious Complication Among Kidney Transplant Recipients.
HOSPITAL DO RIM-UNIFESP, São Paulo, Brazil.
We report 50 confirmed PJP cases that occurred in kidney transplant patients between 06/16/2011 and 10/17/2015 in a single center.In the studied period, there were…2016 American Transplant Congress
Trends in Aspergillus Infection After Liver Transplantation, 1988-2014.
Background: Invasive Aspergillosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in liver transplant recipients. Aspergillus may account for up to 25% of all fungal…2016 American Transplant Congress
Circulating miR-215, miR-let-7c miR-154, miR-193a, NR_036506.1 and NR_027669.1 as Biomarkers Predict Fungal Infection in Post-Transplanted Recipients.
Aims: The incidence of fungal infection in post-transplanted patients is 13%-17%, which seriously effecting perioperative survival and increasing their economic burden. We wanted to find…
