The Hidden Battle After a Transplant: Managing Infection Risks

An organ transplant is a miracle of modern medicine, but the journey doesn't end in the operating room. Dr. Alice Kanyua's excellent presentation at the KACP conference shed light on a critical aspect of post-transplant care: managing the risk of infections.

Because transplant recipients are on medication to suppress their immune system (to prevent organ rejection), they are highly susceptible to infections. Dr. Kanyua explained that these risks come in three main phases:

The Immediate Phase (First Month): Risks are mainly from the surgery itself or infections the patient had before the transplant.

The High-Risk Phase (1-6 Months): This is when patients are most vulnerable to "opportunistic" infections that a healthy immune system would easily fight off. A key virus in this phase is CMV (Cytomegalovirus), which can be very serious.

The Long-Term Phase (After 6 Months): While the risk changes, patients still need careful monitoring.

Understanding this "infection timeline" helps doctors provide the right preventive treatments and monitoring at the right time, protecting both the patient and the precious new organ. It's a complex but vital part of ensuring a successful transplant outcome.

Advanced Hope for Sickle Cell Disease Patients in Mombasa

A powerful presentation at the KACP conference by Dr. Abubakar Abdillah from Aga Khan Hospital, Mombasa, shed light on a life-changing procedure for managing severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD): the Automated Red Blood Cell Exchange (aRCE). This session was generously sponsored by .

Dr. Abdillah explained this through the story of a 12-year-old boy with SCD who had a stroke, leaving him with right-sided weakness. To prevent another stroke, his team used the aRCE machine. Unlike a simple blood transfusion that just dilutes the sickled cells, this machine actively removes them from the patient's blood and replaces them with healthy donor cells.

Why is this a big deal?

Stroke Prevention: It can reliably reduce the harmful sickle hemoglobin to a very low level (
