Abstract

Infection prevention measures for transplant recipients and oncology patients should account for the unique risks of acquiring opportunistic infections while still emphasizing general principles of hand hygiene and transmission-based precautions. A thorough understanding of required clinical surveillance for multidrug-resistant organisms and healthcare-associated infections, optimal methods to ensure air and water quality for the safety of these patients, and distinctive characteristics predisposing patient populations experiencing oncologic disease, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and solid organ transplantation to infections is needed. Practical guidance with supporting evidence is offered to the medical provider regarding infection prevention and control for the hospitalized immunocompromised pediatric patient.
