Varicella-Zoster Virus Pretransplant Vaccination and Posttransplant Infections Among Pediatric Solid Organ Recipients in the Two-Dose Varicella Era: A Single-Center, Multi-Organ Retrospective Studyno
Graphical Abstract
This study identifies missed opportunities for pre-solid organ transplant (SOT) varicella vaccination, particularly among infants and young children, underscores a gap in ensuring that pediatric SOT recipients have a defined pretransplant varicella-zoster virus (VZV) serostatus, and highlights the presence of VZV disease in the modern two-dose varicella vaccine era.
