Post-operative infections in cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis patients after lung transplantation.
J Heart Lung Transplant. 2007; (9): 890-7
Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is the major cause of mortality in CF patients. Lung transplantation remains a valid therapeutic option. It is unknown whether CF patients receiving healthy lungs have an equal susceptibility to infections when compared with non-CF lung transplant patients. Herein we present the largest analyses to date of the post-operative infection profiles of 60 CF and 60 non-CF lung transplant patients.
