The mission of the UPMC Transplant Infectious Diseases (ID) program is to provide comprehensive care for the evaluation and management of infectious diseases related to transplantation (solid organ and stem cell), mechanical circulatory support, hematologic malignancies, and CAR-T cell therapy.
Our experts work collaboratively with the organ transplant, mechanical circulatory support and hematology teams to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Outpatient visits for patients with hematologic malignancies and stem cell transplants occur at the Hillman Cancer Center to facilitate a multidisciplinary approach.
