Abstract
IFD incidence was greatest within the first 3 months post-HT, largely reflecting early surgical-site and nosocomial Candida and Aspergillus infections. Patients receiving additional induction immunosuppression or delayed chest closure were at increased risk for IFD. Peri-transplant anti-fungal prophylaxis should be considered in this subset of HT recipients.
