The objective of this study was to assess the timing, incidence, and outcome of infections in patients with small bowel/multivisceral transplants (SB/MV Tx). A 180-day follow-up was obtained on 13 SB/MV patients transplanted from January 2001 to June 2002. Fifty-six documented infections were observed. By Kaplan-Meier analysis for time to infection, most of which were of bacterial origin (more than 86%), revealed most events to have occurred within the first month post-Tx. Viral infections were equally distributed after the 30th postoperative day.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the timing, incidence, and outcome of infections in patients with small bowel/multivisceral transplants (SB/MV Tx). A 180-day follow-up was obtained on 13 SB/MV patients transplanted from January 2001 to June 2002. Fifty-six documented infections were observed. By Kaplan-Meier analysis for time to infection, most of which were of bacterial origin (more than 86%), revealed most events to have occurred within the first month post-Tx. Viral infections were equally distributed after the 30th postoperative day.
