The frequency and clinical features of post-transplant pneumonia in solid-organ transplantation recipients: A transplant center experience
: While pneumonia was common among SOT recipients, the associated mortality rate was relatively low. Over half the patients were diagnosed through microbiological sampling. Invasive sampling is valuable for non-bacterial agents. Due to high gramnegative bacteria frequency and early post-transplant pneumonia, increased attention is needed for hospital-acquired agents.
