Transplant Infectious Diseases care

Our goal is to minimize the incidence and impact of infections, so that all our transplant patients will have the best possible outcomes after their transplants. 

• The ID specialists collaborate with transplant surgeons to thoroughly evaluate potential deceased donors to ensure that organs can be safely used for transplantation.
• Through the use of a screening process before transplantation, the ID specialists identify, treat and counsel transplant candidates who might be at increased risk of infection post-transplant.
• If a patient does develop an infection post-transplant, the transplant ID team acts quickly to minimize the impact of infection and optimize the quality of life post-transplantation.
