- W2034342387 abstract "Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. An increased risk of up to 50% of herpes simplex virus (HSV) reactivation in transplant recipients in the first months posttransplantation was well-documented during the pre-cytomegalovirus prophylaxis era. Previous reports suggest that these patients are likely to experience a more aggressive disease course and a higher rate of acyclovir-resistant HSV. No data currently exist regarding the course of HSV infection in pancreas or pancreas-kidney transplant (PKT) recipients. The goal of this study was to evaluate the incidence and severity of HSV infections in pancreas transplant and PKT recipients.We analyzed a transplant patient database of the Royal Victoria Hospital to identify 137 pancreas transplant or PKT performed between January 1999 and October 2010. A retrospective chart review was subsequently performed to evaluate the incidence and severity of herpetic infections post transplantation.Our findings show that the incidence of HSV infection in our patients was approximately 10% (10/98 cases). The majority of infections (80%) took place within the first 2 years after the transplantation. Most patients (90%) experienced a uniform, mild disease course and responded well to treatment. One patient died of an unrelated cause. Six patients were treated in hospital with a mean stay of 12.3 ± 6.35 days. The initial immunosuppressive regimen remained unchanged for half of the affected patients. None of our patients developed a drug-resistant HSV.These findings are intriguing and warrant a larger, multicenter, prospective study. Most important, they suggest that the new incidence of HSV reactivation is now much lower in the “cytomegalovirus prophylaxis era” and that with timely diagnosis and proper treatment most patients recover well from their HSV infections and respond to the current treatment regimens." @default.
