Compared to liver, kidney and lung allografts, diagnosis of an
opportunistic infection in an endomyocardial biopsy of a heart
allograft is uncommon. There are no cardinal principles to
follow, except that the pathologist should always be on alert for
these relatively uncommon complications so that the rare case is
not misdiagnosed.
Please mail comments, corrections or suggestions to the
TPIS
administration at the UPMC.
