abstract = {A total of 1073 infectious episodes (IEs) that occurred in 620 consecutive heart transplantation patients at
Stanford Medical Center between 16 December 1980 and 30 June 1996 were reviewed. Infectious complications
were a major cause of morbidity and mortality, second only to rejection as the cause of early deaths and the
most common cause of late deaths. Of the IEs, 468 (43.6%) were caused by bacteria, 447 (41.7%) by viruses,
109 (10.2%) by fungi, 43 (4.0%) by Pneumocystis carinii, and 6 (0.6%) by protozoa. The largest number of
IEs occurred in the lungs (301 [28.1%]). A significant reduction in the incidence of IEs and a delay in
presentation after transplantation were observed; these were most likely related to the introduction of new
chemoprophylactic regimens during the study period and prevention of significant disease caused by
cytomegalovirus.},
