AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISFever  and  other  symptoms  may  be  blunted  because  of  immunosuppression.A  contaminating  organism  in  an  immunocompetent  individual  may  be  a  pathogen  in  an  immunocompromised  one.The  interval  since  transplantation  and  the  degree  of  immunosuppression  can  narrow  the  differential  diagnosis.Empiric  broad-spectrum  antibiotics  may  be  appropriate  in  high-risk  patients  whether  or  not  symptoms  are  localized.
