Article Abstract
To evaluate the risk of acquiring syphilis from a donated kidney, we evaluated kidney transplantation pairs from West China Hospital, Sichuan, China, during 2007-2022. Donor-derived syphilis was rare. Risk may be higher if donors have active syphilis and may be reduced if recipients receive ceftriaxone.

Introduction: Pediatric Infectious Disease (PID) clinicians involved in solid organ transplantation often assess infection risk and mitigation strategies for donor organ offers. While some guidance is available, real-life practice patterns have not been previously described.
Methods: We surveyed PID clinicians about organ acceptance and associated posttransplantation interventions using 12 fictitious pediatric case scenarios through 3 PID-specific listservs.

Article Synopsis
- Solid organ transplantation (SOT) in Asia has grown significantly, but donor-derived infections (DDIs) are a major concern as they can negatively affect transplant outcomes.
- A study was conducted by reaching out to transplant infectious diseases experts in Asia to gather standardized data on SOT numbers, DDI incidence, and screening protocols in countries like Singapore, Japan, and Thailand.
- The findings reveal that while mandatory screening for common infections like HIV and hepatitis is in place across the region, there is a notable lack of surveillance for DDIs, indicating an urgent need for a DDI registry and coordinated efforts to improve safety in organ transplantation.

Donor derived infections (DDIs) in pediatric kidney transplant recipients remain challenging to diagnose and can result in serious morbidity and mortality. This review summarizes the current guidelines and recommendations for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of unexpected DDIs in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. We provide a contemporary overview of DDI terminology, surveillance, epidemiology, and recommended approaches for assessing these rare events with an emphasis on the pediatric recipient.

The increased procurement of organs from donors with risk factors for blood-borne diseases and the expanding syphilis epidemic have resulted in a growing number of organs transplanted from donors with reactive syphilis serology in our center. Based on guidelines, recipients typically receive therapy shortly after the transplant, but data on outcomes are limited. The primary objective of this study was to determine syphilis seroconversion rates at three months post-transplant in recipients of solid organs procured from donors with reactive syphilis serology.
