Alternaria alternata is a saprophyte and is also known to cause many opportunistic infections in humans. Alternaria infections are important factors of morbidity and mortality in im-mune-compromised and solid organ transplant (SOT). Sensitivity to the airborne fungus Alter-naria alternata is also believed to be a common cause of allergic asthma. Therapies are limited by the lack of knowledge about the role of individual fungal gene products and symptoms in im-mune-compromised and transplant patients. This review summarizes the published case studies on Alternaria alternata infections in transplant patients.
