Epidemiology, outcomes, and mortality predictors of invasive mold infections among transplant recipients: a 10‐year, single‐center experience

Abstract

During the era of culture-based diagnostics, observed rates of IMI were low among all transplants except lung transplant recipients, with relatively higher mortality rates. Diagnostic aggressiveness and host variables impact the reported incidence and outcome of IMI and likely account for institutional variability in multicenter studies. Definitions to standardize diagnoses among SOT recipients are needed.
