Yellow Fever and Renal Transplantation: Influence of Vaccination and Infection on the Emergence of Antibody-Mediated Rejection
*Purpose: Yellow fever (YF) is a viral hemorrhagic disease transmitted by mosquitos, with variable clinical disease manifestations from a mild, undifferentiated febrile illness to severe…2019 American Transplant Congress
The High Burden of Vaccine Preventable Infections Following Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant
*Purpose: Pediatric transplant recipients are at risk for vaccine preventable infections due to immunosuppression, suboptimal response to vaccines before and after transplant, and potential under-immunization…2019 American Transplant Congress
Immunization Status at the Time of Pediatric Liver Transplant: A 1-year Study through The Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: Vaccine preventable infections are a serious and common complication following transplant. Immunizations are a minimally invasive and cost-effective approach to reducing infections. The objectives…2018 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Hepatitis B Vaccination in Transplant Candidates
Background:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine series is recommended for all organ transplant candidates; high doses of vaccine are generally given to those with renal disease;…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of the Influenza Vaccine on Pediatric Kidney Transplant Outcomes
The influenza vaccine has been associated with de novo DSA and rejection in adult kidney recipients. This risk has not been adequately assessed in pediatric…2018 American Transplant Congress
Measles and Varicella Vaccination Status and Evidence of Immunity during Solid Organ Pre-Transplantation Evaluation
Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Background: Ensuring complete vaccination is important during a pre-transplant evaluation (PTE), especially for live viral vaccines which are generally contraindicated after transplant. After one dose…2018 American Transplant Congress
Transmission of Rabies through Solid Organ Transplant: A Big Issue in China
Urology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Purpose To summarize and analyze the clinical characteristic, prophylaxis and treatment of rabies transmitted through solid organ transplant. Methods Four recipients and their donors diagnosed…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Clinical Efficacy of Seasonal Influenza Vaccination – Characteristics of Two Outbreaks of Influenza A(H1N1) in Immunocompromised Patients
A. Background. Influenza A(H1N1) causes serious complications in immunocompromised patients. The efficacy of seasonal influenza vaccination in transplant recipients and patients receiving chemotherapy has been…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Influenza Vaccine Implementation by Transplant Pharmacy in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
1Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, GA; 2Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA.
Background: In solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, influenza infection can lead to subsequent graft dysfunction and mortality. In an effort to increase vaccination rates, transplant…2017 American Transplant Congress
T Cell Responses to Viral Peptide Stimulation Predict Influenza Vaccine-Induced Seroconversion in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.
Introduction: Biomarkers predictive of vaccine response are needed to determine the optimal timing of immunization post-transplantation. We previously found that low T-cell ELISPOT responses to…
