Why organ transplanted people are immunocompromised?
MrPoizon:
After an organ transplant, you will need to take immunosuppressant (anti-rejection) drugs. These drugs help prevent your immune system from attacking ("rejecting") the donor organ. Typically, they must be taken for the lifetime of your transplanted organ.
Organ rejection is a constant threat. Keeping the immune system from attacking your transplanted organ requires constant vigilance. So, it's likely that your transplant team will make adjustments to your anti-rejection drug regimen.

people with organ transplant patients are immunocompromised because they are prescribed immunosuppressant medicines so as to prevent any chances of organ rejection. these immunosuppressant medicines suppress the cell mediated immunity for the protection purpose of the grafted organ. this result in less immune system response in case of antigen attack
