Abstract:
Liver transplantation rapidly has become the best choice for pediatric patients with end-stage and metabolic liver disease, since the first liver transplantation succeeded in 1989. In pediatric liver transplantation, significantly improved short-term and long-term survival is attributed to advances in surgical techniques and reasonable immunosuppression regimens in the last 20 years. However, postoperative infections, which remain the most common complication following pediatric liver transplantation, severely affect posttransplantation morbidity and mortality. This paper summarizes the infections after liver transplantation in children and rational drug use.
