Severe Non-Donor-Derived Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Infection in 2 Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.

Background: Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection in immunocompromised hosts can result in disseminated disease, meningoencephalitis, and death. Published cases in transplant recipients have been traced to transmission from infected donors. We report 2 cases of serious, non-donor-derived LCMV infection in solid organ transplant recipients.
