Aspergillosis is the most common cause of fungal infection among stem cell and solid organ transplant recipients, resulting in high mortality if untreated. Patients with weakened immune system and lung diseases are at higher risk of developing severe outcomes. Early detection and quantification of Aspergillus with molecular methods is crucial to isolate infected patients and provide an appropriate treatment.

Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is an opportunistic disease caused by invasion of the unicellular fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJ). In lungs PJ exists in trophic and cystis form and it is one of the most frequent and severe opportunistic infections in people with weakened immune systems. PCP a major cause of morbidity and mortality among HIV-infected patient, nowadays reduced with ART, moreover, represents a significant cause of increasing mortality among HIV-negative patients who are immunosuppressed. For non-immunosuppressed individuals fungal invasion usually leads to asymptomatic colonization. Without treatment, PCP can cause death. Prompt and specific diagnosis is crucial to improve patient outcome.

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a widespread herpesvirus, generally asymptomatic or sometimes responsible for mild infection like mononucleosis. After solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant, EBV reactivation is a common cause of malignant transformation, called Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder “PTLD”. EBV viral load monitoring is important to diagnose, and monitor such complications which are cared for by reducing the patient immunosuppressive treatment.
