<i>Pneumocystis jiroveci</i> Pneumonia Infections in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
In the current era, PJP remains a rare post-transplant complication in pediatric SOT patients. PJP infections occurred more frequently among infants and heart transplant recipients, and were associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and costs. Further studies are needed to identify patient-specific risk factors for PJP among pediatric SOT recipients and define indications for extended PJP prophylaxis or reinitiation.
