Infections occur frequently in oncological and transplant settings and are complicated due to several factors not limited to the degree of immunosuppression, healthcare exposure, and antimicrobial resistance. In addition to common bacterial pathogens, viruses and fungi and other opportunistic pathogens can cause infections in these patients.
