Abstract

In our cohort the rate of IFI was comparatively low, likely because of comprehensive early antifungal use and preemptive therapy at any time after transplant. Prospective studies of fungal colonization late after LT are required to determine the risks and benefits of watchful waiting compared to preemptive therapy.
