Overview
Organ transplant recipients are susceptible to infection due to their generalized immunosuppressed state. Furthermore, the allograft organ (e.g., lung) has increased susceptibility due to its direct communication with the environment.
Post Transplant Infections
- Post liver transplantation, infected fluid collections can develop intrahepatic and parahepatic regions and they are called as biloma.
