Minimizing infection risks after paediatric organ transplants: Advice for practitioners.

Abstract

Paediatric patients who have undergone an organ transplant face risks associated with different infectious diseases. Their susceptibility is increased by treatment with immunosuppressive medications. More of these patients are being cared for in community settings. This practice point provides guidance on key aspects in the prevention and treatment common infections.
