Laboratory evaluations of infections in immunosuppressed transplant patients
Clin Lab Med.
1991 Sep.
Abstract
Many risk factors, especially immunosuppression, lead to infections after transplantation. Laboratory evaluation often begins before transplantation and needs to be conducted in consideration of other clinical data. With the advent of antivirals, virus diagnosis, particularly of the herpesviruses group including cytomegalovirus, has become a critical part of the care of the posttransplant patient.
