“…Nevertheless, the outcome and survival rate of SOT recipients who develop acute CD or reactivation of the disease, especially among heart transplant recipients monitored and treated promptly, is similar to patients not affected by CD and in some instances even better [23,30,33,36,37,46]. Among liver transplant recipients in Argentina, the median stay in intensive care, median hospital stay, rate of acute graft rejection, rate of infection, and rate of graft survival was similar in patients at risk of CD compared to the controls, with no deaths attributable to acute CD [30]. Mortality related to CD reactivation among HTx recipients has been reported in 0.3% to 0.7% of patients in Brazil and in 0% of patients in a recent study in the USA [33,40,46].…”
