13th International Transplant Infectious Disease Conference

Cutting Edge Topics in Transplant INfectious Disease for the Transplant Clinician

November 17-18, 2021 • 07:00 to 11:00 ET
(See below for your local time)


Overview

The number of solid organ transplants and stem cell transplant procedures continue to increase worldwide and graft survival and mortality has been improved through prevention of rejection by immunosuppression therapies. As a consequence of these immunosuppressive therapies, infections caused by both conventional and opportunistic pathogens continue to be prevalent.
Read full overview
The susceptibility of transplant recipients to infection is related to multiple factors, including pre-transplant characteristics, type of transplanted organ, intraoperative characteristics and other post-transplant factors. However, there have been recent laboratory advances that allow for improved risk prediction, and development of novel vaccines that prevent infection. The epidemiology, prevention and treatment of infection in transplant recipients remains an important topic, and one that requires continual review to best impact patient care. This educational symposium will update participants on the epidemiology, prevention and treatment of infection among solid organ and stem cell transplant patients. Key areas of focus include COVID-19, antimicrobial stewardship, evolving donor risk, emerging pathogens and top papers in transplant and cancer infectious diseases.

Learning Objectives

  1. To understand risk assessment for infection in organ transplant recipients throughout the world
  2. To appreciate the management of complicated cases in solid organ transplant recipients
  3. To provide updates on currents strategies for antimicrobial stewardship in solid organ and stem cell transplant patients
  4. To understand the current epidemiology, prevention and management of transplant patients with COVID-19
