Risk of Severe Alphaherpesvirus Infection after Solid Organ Transplantation: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study
Patients after solid organ transplantation (SOT) are more susceptible to various viral infections, including alphaherpesviruses. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the risk of alphaherpesvirus infections, including herpes simplex and herpes zoster, after solid organ transplantation....

description | Patients after solid organ transplantation (SOT) are more susceptible to various viral infections, including alphaherpesviruses. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the risk of alphaherpesvirus infections, including herpes simplex and herpes zoster, after solid organ transplantation. Inpatient records from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) defined solid organ recipients, including heart, liver, lung, and kidney, hospitalized for alphaherpesvirus infections as a severe case group of transplants and matched them with a nontransplant cohort. We enrolled 18,064 individuals, of whom 9032 were in each group. A higher risk of severe alphaherpesvirus infection was noted in solid organ recipients (aHR = 9.19; p < 0.001) than in the general population. In addition, solid organ transplant recipients had the highest risk of alphaherpesvirus infection within 1 year after transplantation (aHR = 25.18). The comparison found a higher risk of herpes zoster and herpes simplex infections in recipients of kidney (aHR = 9.13; aHR = 12.13), heart (aHR = 14.34; aHR = 18.54), and liver (aHR = 5.90; aHR = 8.28) transplants. Patients who underwent solid organ transplantation had a significantly higher risk of alphaherpesvirus infection than the general population. |
