Transplantation has emerged as one of the remarkable achievements of the latter half of the twentieth century for treatment of many end-stage organ disorders. Survival in pediatric solid organ transplantation continues to improve as strategies for immunosuppression, prevention and treatment of infectious complications progress. This article presents the summaries of the common and opportunistic pathogens that cause infectious complications for the pediatric transplant recipient. In addition, an approach to the pediatric transplant patient who presents with specific symptoms suggestive of infection is provided.
