Description
Seohyeon Im and six co-authors reviewed virus infections spread by biting insects in organ transplant patients, in a 2024 paper. Such patients take drugs that blunt their immune system, so infections can hit harder. These viruses are spreading as the climate warms and travel grows.
The review gathered cases for six viruses, with West Nile and dengue by far the most common. Fever was the top sign in both. West Nile cases died at a rate near one in four, while dengue deaths were far lower. Some infections came from the donated organ itself. Care often meant cutting back the immune drugs. The authors call for better guarding, faster diagnosis, and clearer care plans.
