TL;DR: Treatment with at least three drugs during 9 months or more, avoiding the use of rifampin, appears to be appropriate, and use of antilymphocyte antibodies or high doses of steroids for acute rejection before tuberculosis was associated with a higher mortality rate.

TL;DR: Risk factors in patients with early-onset cases and patients with late-onsets cases of posttransplantation invasive aspergillosis are not the same, a fact that could have implications for the preventive approaches used for this infection.

TL;DR: The combined analysis of 69 cases of IE caused by S lugdunensis showed that native valve IE is characterised by mitral valve involvement and frequent complications such as heart failure, abscess formation, and embolism and is associated with a better prognosis when antibiotic treatment is combined with surgery.

TL;DR: Pulmonary infections remain one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients, and the first cause of hospital admission in the HAART era, and achieving an aetiological diagnosis of pulmonary infection in these patients is important due to its prognostic consequences.

TL;DR: Recommendations regarding the selection criteria for donors from foreign countries who could potentially transmit tropical or geographically restricted infections to solid-organ transplant recipients are elaborated.
