Discussion

Retrospective case-control study shows higher infection-related mortality and distinct pathogen distribution in lung retransplant patients.

Lung retransplant recipients exhibited worse clinical outcomes with higher infection-related mortality rates.
Pulmonary hypertension occurred more frequently in retransplant patients, correlating with clinical challenges.
Bronchoalveolar lavage revealed Elizabethkingia and Pseudomonas patterns essential for understanding infection dynamics.
The distinct temporal distribution of pathogens emphasizes the need for tailored infection surveillance strategies.

Han et al. (2025) studied this question.
