Abstract
After two multistate outbreaks of allograft tissue-transmitted tuberculosis (TB) due to viable bone, evidence-based donor screening criteria were developed to decrease the risk of transmission to recipients. Exclusionary criteria, commentary, and references supporting the criteria are provided, based on literature search and expert opinion. Both exposure and reactivation risk factors were considered, either for absolute exclusion or for exclusion in combination with multiple risk factors. A criteria subset was devised for tissues containing viable cells. Risk factors for consideration included exposure (e.g., geographic birth and residence, travel, homelessness, incarceration, healthcare, and workplace) and reactivation (e.g., kidney disease, liver disease, history of transplantation, immunosuppressive medications, and age). Additional donor considerations include the possibility of sepsis and chronic illness. Donor screening criteria represent minimal criteria for exclusion and do not completely exclude all possible donor TB risks. Additional measures to reduce transmission risk, such as donor and product testing, are discussed but not included in the recommendations. Careful donor evaluation is critical to tissue safety.
期刊介绍:
Transplant Infectious Disease has been established as a forum for presenting the most current information on the prevention and treatment of infection complicating organ and bone marrow transplantation. The point of view of the journal is that infection and allograft rejection (or graft-versus-host disease) are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have immediate consequences on the other. The interaction of the transplant recipient with potential microbial invaders, the impact of immunosuppressive strategies on this interaction, and the effects of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines liberated during the course of infections, rejection, or graft-versus-host disease are central to the interests and mission of this journal.
Transplant Infectious Disease is aimed at disseminating the latest information relevant to the infectious disease complications of transplantation to clinicians and scientists involved in bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart, lung, intestinal, and pancreatic transplantation. The infectious disease consequences and concerns regarding innovative transplant strategies, from novel immunosuppressive agents to xenotransplantation, are very much a concern of this journal. In addition, this journal feels a particular responsibility to inform primary care practitioners in the community, who increasingly are sharing the responsibility for the care of these patients, of the special considerations regarding the prevention and treatment of infection in transplant recipients. As exemplified by the international editorial board, articles are sought throughout the world that address both general issues and those of a more restricted geographic import.
