Background. Infectious complications following living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality. We analyzed the frequency and type of infectious complications according to the post-transplantation period, and their risk factors with regard to morbidity and mortality. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed 208 subjects who had undergone LDLT during a 9-year period. Results. The rate of infection was 1.69 per patient during the study period. The predominant infections were intra-abdominal infections (37.6%), primary bacteremia (17.4%), and pneumonia (14.5%). Within the first post-transplant month, 140 (39.9%) infections were detected, and catheter-related coagulase-negative staphylococci (44) were the most common infectious agents. During the 2-6-month post-transplant period, 109 infectious episodes occurred (31.1%), and Enterococcus sp. (n = 16) related to biliary infection was the most frequent isolate. After the sixth month, 96 infectious episodes (29%) occurred, and biliary tract-related Escherichia coli (n = 19) was the major causative organism. The overall mortality was 24.5% (51/208); 1-year survival rate was 88% (196/208). Post-transplant infection-related mortality was 52.9% (27/51). Biliary tract complications, such as biliary stenosis or leakage, significantly increased the mortality (P = 0.01); however, reoperation (retransplantation or resurgery for biliary tract obstruction/leakage or to control bleeding) significantly reduced the mortality (P = 0.01). Conclusions. Our data showed that early catheter removal would mainly aid in reducing infectious complications in the 1-month post-transplantation period. Aggressive management, including reoperation, would lower the mortality in the LDLT recipients.
