Influenza infection in solid organ transplant recipients is associated with significant morbidity, including a high rate of acute allograft rejection.
Vilchez et al. (2002) conducted a cohort in Influenza virus infection in solid organ transplant recipients (n=30). Solid organ transplantation was evaluated on Incidence of influenza viral infection (p=<0.0001). Influenza viral infection occurred at an incidence of 41.8, 2.8, and 4.3 cases/1,000 person-years among lung, liver, and renal transplant recipients, respectively (p<0.0001).
