“…In addition, outbreaks have resulted from construction in hospital locations remote from where the patients were housed but where ancillary procedures were performed such as radiology [38]. Contaminated air vents or filters have often been the source of infection [21,31,32,41,46]. Other environmental sources of infection have included contaminated objects including syringes and spinal needles [22,23], a liquid nitrogen tank near the operating room [27], gauze used to cover venipuncture sites [28], dressing supplies [47], latex finger stalls [48], and electronic equipment in the operating room [49].…”

“…One method to assess the effects (short-and long-term) of immunosuppressive protocols posttransplantation is a variety of in vitro or ex vivo phenotypic and functional assays under the umbrella title initially called immunologic monitoring (20). Although controversial in assessing predictability of adverse events in the past, newer assays may allow the identification of subsets of regulatory cells that may play a role in allowing reduction of maintenance dosing of these cumulatively toxic agents.…”

“…Exhaust ducts are also sources of nosocomial aspergillosis. Backflow of air from a common exhaust duct into patients' rooms on a renal transplant unit was implicated as the source of nosocomial pulmonary aspergillosis in three renal transplant recipients (57). A bird screen had been removed from the exhaust duct opening, and bird excreta had accumulated and become the substrate for an Aspergillus sp.…”
