Outcomes of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia infections in pediatric heart transplant recipients.

abstract：:Although de novo DSA are associated with inferior graft survival, there are no effective strategies to prevent their formation. Underexposure to MPA (prodrug: MMF) also contributes to rejection rates early after transplantation, but the effect of this phenomenon on the formation of DSA long-term post-transplantation i...
