Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive fungal infections are associated with high morbidity in solid organ transplant recipients. Risk factor modification may help with preventative efforts. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for the development of fungal infections within the first year following solid organ transplant. METHODS We searched for eligible articles through February 3, 2023. Studies published after January 1, 2001, that pertained to risk factors for development of invasive fungal infections in solid organ transplant were reviewed for inclusion. Of 3087 articles screened, 58 were included. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model to evaluate individual risk factors for the primary outcome of any invasive fungal infections and invasive candidiasis or invasive aspergillosis (when possible) within 1 y posttransplant. RESULTS We found 3 variables with a high certainty of evidence and strong associations (relative effect estimate ≥ 2) to any early invasive fungal infections across all solid organ transplant groups: reoperation (odds ratio [OR], 2.92; confidence interval [CI], 1.79-4.75), posttransplant renal replacement therapy (OR, 2.91; CI, 1.87-4.51), and cytomegalovirus disease (OR, 2.97; CI, 1.78-4.94). Both posttransplant renal replacement therapy (OR, 3.36; CI, 1.78-6.34) and posttransplant cytomegalovirus disease (OR, 2.81; CI, 1.47-5.36) increased the odds of early posttransplant invasive aspergillosis. No individual variables could be pooled across groups for invasive candidiasis. CONCLUSIONS Several common risk factors exist for the development of any invasive fungal infections in solid organ transplant recipients. Additional risk factors for invasive candidiasis and aspergillosis may be unique to the pathogen, transplanted organ, or both.

Abstract
Opportunistic infections are a leading cause of lung transplant recipient morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for infection include continuous exposure of the lung allograft to the external environment, high levels of immunosuppression, impaired mucociliary clearance and decreased cough reflex, and impact of the native lung microbiome in single lung transplant recipients. Infection risk is mitigated through careful pretransplant screening of recipients and donors, implementation of antimicrobial prophylaxis strategies, and routine surveillance posttransplant. This review describes common viral, fungal, and mycobacterial infectious after lung transplant and provides recommendations on prevention and treatment.

Int J Antimicrob Agents 2024; 63:107078. [PMID: 38161046 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2023.107078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a cardiocirculatory or respiratory support has tremendously increased in critically ill patients. In the setting of ECMO support, invasive fungal infections are a severe cause of morbidity and mortality. This vulnerable population is at risk of suboptimal antifungal exposure due to an increased volume of distribution (Vd), drug sequestration and decreased clearance. Here, we aimed to summarize ex-vivo and clinical studies on the potential impact of ECMO on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of antifungal agents and dosing requirements. METHODS A systematic search of the literature within electronic databases PubMed and EMBASE was conducted from database inception to 30 April 2023. Inclusion criteria were as follows: critically ill patients receiving ECMO regardless of age and reporting at least one PK parameter. RESULTS Thirty-six studies met inclusion criteria, including seven ex-vivo experiments and 29 clinical studies evaluating three classes of antifungals: polyenes, triazoles and echinocandins. Based on the available ex-vivo PK data, we found a significant sequestration of highly lipophilic and protein-bound antifungals within the ECMO circuit such as voriconazole, posaconazole and micafungin but the PK of several antifungals remains to be addressed such as amphotericin B, isavuconazole and anidulafungin. Most clinical studies have shown increased Vd of some antifungals like fluconazole and micafungin, particularly in the pediatric population. Conflicting data exist about caspofungin exposure. CONCLUSIONS The available literature on the antifungal PK changes in ECMO setting is scarce. Whenever possible, therapeutic drug monitoring is highly advised to personalize antifungal therapy.

Candidemia in thoracic solid organ transplant recipients: Characteristics and outcomes relative to matched uninfected and bacteremic thoracic organ transplant recipients. Clin Transplant 2023; 37:e15038.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is understood about the risk factors and outcomes from candidemia in thoracic solid organ transplant recipients. METHODS This is a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing heart or lung transplant between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2022. We performed two comparisons among heart and lung transplant recipients: (1) recipients with candidemia versus matched, uninfected recipients, and (2) recipients with candidemia versus recipients with bacteremia. RESULTS During the study 384 heart and 194 lung transplants were performed. Twenty-one (5.5%) heart and six (3.1%) lung recipients developed candidemia. Heart recipients with candidemia were more likely to have had delayed chest closure (38.1% vs. 0%, p < .0001), temporary mechanical circulatory support (57.1% vs. 11.9%, p = .0003), and repeat surgical chest exploration 76.2% vs. 16.7%, p < .0001) than uninfected controls. Heart and lung recipients who developed candidemia were more likely to have been on renal replacement therapy prior to infection relative to uninfected controls (57.1% vs. 11.9%, p = .0003 and 66.7% vs. 0%, p = .0041, respectively). Heart recipients with candidemia had significantly lower post-transplant survival and lower post-infection survival relative to matched uninfected controls and heart recipients with bacteremia, respectively (p < .0001 and p = .0002, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Candidemia following heart and lung transplantation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Further research is needed to understand if heart recipients with delayed chest closure, temporary mechanical circulatory support, renal replacement therapy, and repeat surgical chest exploration may benefit from targeted antifungal prophylaxis.
