Mucormycosis Infection in Lung Transplant Patients: Experience in Andalusia, Spain
Introduction
Mucorales infections in the airways of lung transplant (LT) patients are rare but have a rising incidence in transplanted lungs.
Objective
We present our experience with LT in immediate postoperative infections due to mucormycosis.
Methods
Review of 767 LT performed in Andalusia between 2000 and 2023 identifying Mucorales through microbiological results and histological findings.
Results
The incidence of Mucorales was less than 1% of all LTs performed at our institution but resulted in 100% mortality. In our series, all cases underwent LT for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. They presented with pulmonary infection that progressed to disseminated infection. Major associated risk factors included prior corticosteroid treatment, malnutrition, solid organ transplantation, single lung transplantation, immunosuppression, and concomitant Aspergillus infection.
Conclusions
Mucormycosis infection in grafts after lung transplantation is a lethal complication poorly documented in the literature. Vigilance for Mucorales in these patients is crucial for early diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
