Approximately 28,000 organ transplants were performed in the United States in 2007. When infections are transmitted from donors, the implications can be serious for multiple recipients. Tuberculosis (TB), a known infectious disease complication associated with organ transplantation, occurs in an estimated 0.35%-6.5% of organ recipients in the United States and Europe posttransplantation. In 2007, the Oklahoma State Department of Health identified Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an organ donor 3 weeks after the donor's death. This report summarizes results of the subsequent investigation, which determined that disseminated TB occurred in two of three transplant recipients from this donor, and one recipient died. Genotypes of the donor and recipient TB isolates were identical, consistent with transmission of TB by organ transplantation. To reduce the risk for TB transmission associated with organ transplantation, organ recovery personnel should consider risk factors for TB when assessing all potential donors. In addition, clinicians should recognize that transplant recipients with TB might have unusual signs or symptoms. When transmission is suspected, investigation of potential donor-transmitted TB requires rapid communication among physicians, transplant centers, organ procurement organizations (OPOs), and public health authorities.
2007年,美国进行了约28000例器官移植手术。当感染从供体传播时,可能会对多个接受者产生严重影响。结核病(TB)是一种已知的与器官移植相关的传染病并发症,在美国和欧洲,估计有0.35% - 6.5%的器官接受者在移植后会发生结核病。2007年,俄克拉荷马州卫生部在一名器官供体死亡3周后检测出结核分枝杆菌。本报告总结了后续调查结果,该调查确定,来自这名供体的三名移植接受者中有两人发生了播散性结核病,一名接受者死亡。供体和接受者结核分枝杆菌分离株的基因型相同,这与通过器官移植传播结核病一致。为降低与器官移植相关的结核病传播风险,器官获取人员在评估所有潜在供体时应考虑结核病的危险因素。此外,临床医生应认识到,患有结核病的移植接受者可能有不寻常的体征或症状。当怀疑有传播时,对潜在的供体传播性结核病进行调查需要医生、移植中心、器官采购组织(OPO)和公共卫生当局之间迅速沟通。
