Multicenter analysis of immunosuppressive medications on the risk of malignancy following adult solid organ transplantation.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the risk of maintenance immunosuppression on the post-transplant risk of malignancy across all solid organ transplant types.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study from a multicenter hospital system in the United States. The electronic health record was queried from 2000 to 2021 for cases of solid organ transplant, immunosuppressive medications, and post-transplant malignancy.

Disseminated Nocardia paucivorans Infection Resembling Metastatic Disease in a Kidney Transplant Recipient.

Recipients of solid-organ transplants (SOT) or hematopoietic stem-cell transplants are prone to various complications, including serious infections. Nocardiosis is an opportunistic bacterial infection that primarily affects the lung. It may also cause skin and soft-tissue infection, cerebral abscess, bloodstream infection, or infection involving other organs.

Asymptomatic Bacteriuria: Prevalence, Diagnosis, Management, and Current Antimicrobial Stewardship Implementations.

Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a common clinical condition that often leads to unnecessary treatment. It has been shown that incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria increases with age and are more prominent in women than men. In older women, the incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria is recorded to be more than 15%.

associated hematogenous sternoclavicular joint osteomyelitis: A rare condition with a rare causative pathogen.

is the most common microorganism that causes urinary tract infections (UTIs), including acute prostatitis. However, osteomyelitis, especially ones that involve the sternoclavicular joint, are rare hematogenous complications. We present a case of an immunocompetent man who presented with symptoms of UTI and right shoulder pain.
