Invasive Aspergillosis in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Invasive aspergillosis occurs in 1–15% of the solid organ transplant recipients. Mortality rate in transplant recipients with invasive aspergillosis typically ranges from 65% to 92% (1–4). An estimated 9.3–16.9% of all deaths in transplant recipients in the first year have been considered attributable to invasive aspergillosis (5). Although the outcomes have improved in the current era, invasive aspergillosis remains a significant posttransplant complication in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients.
