surgery or stay in the ICU, some of the causesmost frequent infection en el paciente trasplantado
-infections in transplant patients, one of themost important causes of morbidity and mortality in these patients
– collaboration between specialists must be closeto ensure the comprehensive approach to the patient ” according to Dr. Albert Pahissa,Member of the SEIMC
Bilbao, 2012-may in the framework of the annual XVI Congress ofthe Spanish society of infectious diseases and clinical microbiology(SEIMC), which this year has had place inBilbao, has given special importance to infections that affect thosepatients with impaired defenses and that are therefore at higher risk of havinginfection: the case of transplanted patients. Infections thatthey have this type of patients continue to be one of the causes moresignificant morbidity and mortality, especially in the case of interventions ofintestinal and lung transplantation.
the patient, after being transplanted, is treated withsuppress the immune system in order to avoid the rejection of the body, what causes thatmore sensitive to enter into any kind of infection. in addition, the ownsurgery or stay in the ICU are other factors that influence in theemergence of infections.
according to Dr. Albert PahÃssa, Member of the SEIMC and head of theservice of infectious diseases of the Hospital Universitari Vall d´Hebron, for the optimal management of these patients it is necessary to know the epidemiologyand clinical characteristics of these patients: how they interact among themselvesdifferent medications, the toxicity of treatments etc. But abovewhatever, we mark the difference is the experience of the clinician in the approachel paciente trasplantado and early detection, that this is allin a better outcome ”.
this comprehensive monitoring is still necessary inthe transplanted child population. The majority of elderly people,organ donors, are HIV-positive i.e. have antibodies that canreact to certain infections; However, not the case with thechildren that given his young age tend to be seronegative, i.e. are muchmore prone to infection at the time in which receive thethe patient HIV-positive adult body.
on the approach to the patient, adds Pahissa, thecoordination between transplant specialist and the infectologist is extremelyimportant and communication is often very close throughout theprocess. In those cases in which there is no coordination between the twospecialists, much less successful results have found ”.
