Abstract
Infections after kidney transplant in children remain a significant problem. Infections can be viral (Epstein–Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and BK virus), bacterial (urinary tract infections, wound infections, and pneumonia), or fungal (candidiasis and Pneumocystis jirovecii , formerly Pneumocystis carinii ); all can have a significant negative impact on graft survival. Infections are typically defined as early (0–30 days posttransplant), intermediate (1–6 months posttransplant), or late (> 6 months posttransplant) depending on how far after transplant they occur. Here, we will review some of the common infections in children postkidney transplant.
