these serious complications. Infections without systemic spread are not a contraindication for transplantation (RL5), with the exception of the infected organ (RL1-3). Bacteraemia and focal infections, including bacterial meningitis and endo-carditis, are not absolute contraindications to organ donation (RL2-3) if the cause is identified and appropriate antimicrobial therapy is administered to donors for 48 h or more and infection is clinically controlled [10]. Nevertheless, donors who die due to meningoencephalitis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans or Mycobacterium tuberculosis should not be used (RL1). To identify subclinical infections, blood cultures should be collected at the time of organ procurement, especially if the donor has been hospitalized for more than 48–72 h. Generally, recipients who receive organs from bacteraemic or fungaemic donors should receive targeted antimicrobial therapy for a period of 7–14 days [11].
