Global perspectives on donor-derived infections: Brazil and Argentina

Alice T W Song et al. Transpl Infect Dis. 2024 Nov.

Abstract

Brazil and Argentina are two of the South American countries that perform the highest number of solid organ transplant procedures globally each year. These procedures are not exempt from risks for the recipient, and there is a risk of donor-derived infections. Risk mitigation measures for disease transmission from donor to recipient are essential, and biovigilance systems play a crucial role to inform authorities and provide data for the definition of screening procedures and prevention of donor-derived infections. We herein describe the biovigilance systems in Brazil and Argentina and provide some data regarding potential and effective donors.

Keywords: biovigilance; donor‐derived; infections; organ transplantation.
