Summary:Opportunistic infections have a high incidence among hematopoetic and solid organ transplant recipients with compromised cell-mediated immunity induced by immunosuppression. [11] Independent risk factors for mucormycosis present in this patient include aggressive immunosuppression particularly with T-cell depleting agents, prolonged Intensive Care Unit stay, and renal dysfunction. Zygomycosis in solid organ transplant recipients: A prospective, matched case-control study to assess risks for disease and outcome.
