Abstract

Organ procurement organizations have the task of evaluating potential deceased organs donors for both active and latent infections in order to protect the potential recipients. We discuss deceased donor evaluation and infectious disease screening, as well as donor-derived infections in organ transplant recipients, both expected and unexpected.
