- Abstract:
- Skin infections after transplantation are frequent and of special importance because they may be quite severe. The spectrum of dermatologic infections in transplant recipients includes bacterial, mycotic and viral diseases. Pyoderma, herpes virus 6/7, herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus and candida infections predominate. Rare pathogens must be also considered. Cutaneous infections can be divided into three phases following transplantation. Diagnosis and adequate early therapy together with specific prophylaxis and follow-up of transplant patients should be strived for to avoid life-threatening complications.
