Vaccine preventable infections are occurring at epidemic rates both nationally and internationally. At the same time, rates of vaccine hesitancy and refusal are increasing across the country, leading to decreased herd immunity. For immunosuppressed transplant recipients, this situation poses great risk.

Although neutropenia is a common complication following lung transplantation, its relationship to recipient outcomes remains understudied. Researchers evaluated a retrospective cohort of 228 adult lung transplant recipients between 2008 and 2013 to assess the association of neutropenia and Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor treatment with outcomes.

Previous studies suggest that direct-acting antivirals for treatment of hepatitis C virus infection permits transplantation of HCV-viremic donor organs in uninfected recipients. This opportunity may expand the donor pool. Researchers assessed the impact of utilizing HCV nucleic acid test-positive donor hearts on heart transplant waitlist time and transplant rate.
