Coccidioidomycosis Transmission Through Solid Organ Transplantation (2013–2022): A Report of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network ad hoc Disease Transmission Advisory Committee
Despite its rarity, donor-derived Coccidioides infection is a serious concern, particularly due to the high mortality rate in the early post-transplant period. To mitigate these risks, a thorough assessment of donor exposure history, coupled with donor serology and bronchoalveolar lavage cultures, can effectively guide post-transplant antifungal prophylaxis. Prompt reporting is crucial to prevent Coccidioides infections among other recipients.
