Infection can be transmitted with a donor organ to the recipient,but contamination of the organ during processing and harvesting is commoner and may lead to severe infection in the recipient,especially if contamination is by one of a subset of more virulent organisms.True donor- transmitted infection,although rare,can be reduced by careful donor screening,which should include clinical and epidemiologic assessment for evidence of infection,as well as judicious laboratory testing. |
