The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal Feb 22, 2018
Furuichi M, et al. - During this research, the characteristics of bloodstream infection (BSI) occurring beyond 6 months after pediatric liver transplantation (LT) were investigated by the authors. The development of late-onset BSI was found in 9% of recipients after pediatric LT.

The independent risk factors for developing late-onset BSI included prolonged operative time at LT and biliary stenosis.
