The Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation has issued a statement saying that the H1N1 flu poses special problems for transplant recipients.
Issues with newly transplanted recipients as well as donors with the virus have caused physicians to realize the need for more thorough testing.
The virus "highlights unique aspects of transplant care that will require heightened vigilance in coming months," said Lara Danziger-Isakov, MD, with the Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital.
Transplant patients are instructed to get both the seasonal trivalent inactivated flu vaccine and the H1N1 vaccines as soon as possible, but to avoid using the live attenuated FluMist nasal spray.
