Solid organ transplant recipients are considered to be at higher risk of complications of flu, and this study aimed to characterise outcomes in a cohort of such patients during the swine flu pandemic. Data on patients from 26 North American transplant centres were used to determine the demographics, presentation, treatment and outcomes for adults and children with transplanted solid organs and confirmed swine flu infection.
 
Data were available on 237 patients...
