Abstract
This study investigates the prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection among solid organ transplant recipients in the United States from 2019 to 2023 before transplantation. Utilizing data from a large multicenter network, we identified a rising seroprevalence of 4.8% from 1523 solid organ transplant recipients at the time of the evaluation for transplantation, particularly among lung and heart transplant recipients. The findings highlight the need for improved screening protocols to address this neglected tropical disease in transplant populations.
期刊介绍：
Open Forum Infectious Diseases provides a global forum for the publication of clinical, translational, and basic research findings in a fully open access, online journal environment. The journal reflects the broad diversity of the field of infectious diseases, and focuses on the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on knowledge that holds the potential to improve patient care in populations around the world. Fully peer-reviewed, OFID supports the international community of infectious diseases experts by providing a venue for articles that further the understanding of all aspects of infectious diseases.
