title: Risk of community infections in transplant patients: a literature review.
abstract: Due to concern over the morbidity and mortality associated with infections in transplant recipient patients, a review of the literature was completed to evaluate the risk of patients acquiring infection from pets and during travel and to improve teaching by transplant teams. There is a paucity of information in the literature regarding such infections in transplant patients, however, reviewing studies involving acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients yielded important data.
