opportunistic infections in the early post-conversion period.Initiation of respective antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal prophylaxis may be warranted.
IPF-LTRs are at increased susceptibility for PTLD compared to non-IPF LTRs. LTRs who received alemtuzumab induction were at increased risk for PTLD, particularly those who were EBV mismatches. Ongoing studies are being conducted to understand the mechanisms driving PTLD in IPF-LTRs and develop strategies to mitigate risk.
