“…Surgical excision or debridement prior to transplant is recommended if feasible. If the clinical picture is felt to be consistent with colonization rather than infection, antifungal therapy does not need to be started until after transplant [39]. When treatment is initiated, voriconazole is the drug of choice; combination antifungal therapy with an echinocandin or amphotericin can be considered.…”

Purpose of review Infections in hospitalized patients awaiting solid organ transplantation can pose complicated diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Goals of management include stabilizing the patient, treating or controlling infections, and decreasing the risk of reactivation of infection after transplant. Recent findings Groups such as The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, American Society of Transplantation Infectious Diseases Community of Practice and the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases have updated their guidelines on screening and treatment of infection in transplant candidates. There are also recent developments in therapeutic options for tuberculosis, COVID-19, Clostridioides difficile colitis, bloodstream infections, and other common infections. Summary Ideally, antimicrobial therapy should be complete prior to transplantation. In situations in which completion of therapy prior to transplant is not feasible, therapy may need to be prolonged or modified. In most situations, infections can be managed similarly to the general population, although some infections, particularly fungal and mycobacterial, require a different management approach. We review disease- and organ-specific management.
