Abstract

As a result of immunosuppression, both solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients are at much higher risk of a range of cutaneous infections. A variety of latent viral infections can reactivate in different and more aggressive ways. Additionally, the skin is at much greater risk of fungal and mycobacterial infections, manifesting via either cutaneous inoculations or systemic dissemination. Clinicians should be aware of the different testing and treatment strategies employed in this at-risk population.
