Workshop and CME on Transplant Associated Infection
More than 15 infections will be detected in a single sample at a time
First center to start multiplex PCR
There is a possibility of infection in 50 to 80 percent after organ transplant.
Virus, fungus, bacteria and parasites are the enemies of transplant people.
Now it has become possible to find out what kind of infection a patient has and which bacteria, virus, fungus or parasite he has. Sanjay Gandhi PGI is going to start multiplex PCR. This test will detect more than 15 infectious agents at once from a single sample. There will be no need to test the patient separately. Once infection is detected, treatment will begin quickly. The patient will get a lot of relief. This testing will start this month. Head of the department Prof. Rungmei SK Merck said that the risk of infection after kidney and liver transplant is 50 to 80 percent. If the infection is detected at the right time, they can get a long and successful life by eliminating the infection with medicines. Among these, the possibility of viral fungal infection is highest. After this, there is a possibility of bacterial and parasitic infection. Prof. of Era Medical College in the CME and workshop organized by the department on Transplant Associated Infection. Vinita Khare, Prof. of SGPGI. Chinmoy Shahu and Dr. Ashima said that immunosuppressive drugs are used in transplant patients so that the body does not produce antibodies to the transplanted organ and the body accepts the organ. The immune system remains weak due to immunosuppressive. There may be a deficiency of neutrophils due to which there is a higher risk of viral and fungal infections.
If you have this problem then seek advice immediately
Pro. Merck said that if symptoms of infection include fever, weakness and feeling tired or loss of appetite, one should immediately contact their transplant specialist. The doctor should also think about infection. It has been observed that there is a possibility of TB infection in people who have undergone transplant. By finding out the cause of infection at the right time and with proper treatment, they can be saved to a great extent.
This is the enemy of transplanted people.
