Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the greatest challenges that patients who have undergone transplantation encounter, whether it be solid organ transplantation or bone marrow transplantation, is combatting opportunistic infections. A significant accumulation of evidence has enabled improvements in infection prophylaxis in these groups of patients, and the development of antimicrobials to combat and prevent infections has led to improved outcomes. Nevertheless, there remains a substantial knowledge gap leading to diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive challenges.
This Special Issue is focused on enhancing current knowledge on “Infection and Immunity after Transplantation”. From examining biomolecular targets for the diagnosis of infectious diseases, to investigating pathophysiologic mechanisms of immune responses to infections in post-transplant patients, as well as exploring therapeutic and preventive drugs on a molecular level, this Special Issue aims to enrich the scientific body of evidence on all aspects of infection and immunity after transplantation.
