Issue Date: | Mar-2023 | Date: | 2023 | Publication information: | Transplantation Direct 2023; 9(3) | Abstract: | Unexpected donor-derived infections of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and HIV are rare but important potential complications of deceased organ transplantation. The prevalence of recently acquired (yield) infections has not been previously described in a national cohort of Australian deceased organ donors. Donor yield infections are of particularly significance, as they can be used to gain insights in the incidence of disease in the donor pool and in turn, estimate the risk of unexpected disease transmission to recipients. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/32286 | DOI: | 10.1097/TXD.0000000000001447 | ORCID: | Journal: | Transplantation Direct | Start page: | e1447 | PubMed URL: | 36845855 | Type: | Journal Article |
