INFECTIONS IN THE POOL OF POTENTIAL ORGAN DONORS: IS IT ALWAYS CONTRAINDICATION TO DONATION?

Abstract

The presence of certain infection in potential organ donors is significant problem for Russian Transplantology. The increase in detection of donor’s infections could be due to increase in general donor’s pool and also to utili- zation of modern diagnostic screening. We should strictly define which infections carry a real threat to recipients and which are not. In the present paper we did the literature review which we believe will help us to solve the problem.
