Infectious complications are still important causes of morbidity and mortality among transplant recipients. The risk of infection in transplant recipients is largely influenced by three factors: technical and/or anatomic mishaps, environmental exposures, and net state of immunosuppression. Net state of immunosuppression is the main factor that determines the antimicrobial program. Infection in the post-transplant period shows a time dependent pattern. When considering the timetable of infection, three time periods are recognized, each with differing forms of infection: first month post-transplant, one to six months post-transplant, more than six months post-transplant. This timetable is the basis for judicious and appropriate antimicrobial strategies.Keywords: Kidney transplantation, opportunistic infections, infectionTurkiye Klinikleri J Nephrol-Special Topics 2008, 1:79-85
