In October 2023, Health Canada notified Canadian organ transplantation programs of an outbreak of donor-derived B quintana infection. From March to August 2023, 5 cases of donor-derived B quintana disease were acquired in Alberta, Canada, from 3 deceased donors who had experienced homelessness. Similar cases recently occurred in the United States. In this article, we discuss strategies to screen organ donors and monitor transplant recipients for B quintana infection using epidemiologic risk factors, physical examination signs, and laboratory diagnostic tests. We review the limitations of existing diagnostic tests for B quintana and describe how these problems may be magnified in the organ transplantation context.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ofid\/ofae381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,8]],"date-time":"2024-07-08T07:49:40Z","timestamp":1720424980000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Donor-Derived
