Cryptococcal infection in lung transplant recipients: A 5‐year retrospective review at an Australian transplant center

Abstract: Cryptococcosis is a common invasive fungal infection (IFI) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Little is known about cryptococcosis in lung transplant (LTx) recipients despite having one of the highest risks of infection. The aim of this study was to describe demographic and clinical features of cryptococcal infection in LTx recipients. We performed a retrospective, observational study of cryptococcal infection in LTx recipients at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, from 2012 to 2017. A total… Show more

“…Cryptococcosis is the third most common invasive fungal infection in LTR patients, and is also associated with a significant risk of dissemination and mortality (51). This disease typically occurs with reactivation of a latent focus of infection, and reported mortality ranges from 14-19.6% (52,53).…”
