| Abstrakt: |
In renal allograft recipients, infection disease complications remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality during the post-transplant period. This complication occurs more frequently from 1 to 6 months after transplant. The epidemiology of infection during the postoperative period is less well characterized, because recipients routinely reside at home. We describe a case of late onset Candida albicans and HSV-1 esophagitis, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, that occurs 9 years after renal transplantation in a patient with severe CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia and hypogammaglobulinaemia. We underline the importance of monitoring immunosuppressive therapy in these patients and the usefulness of prophylaxis against P. carinii pneumonia |
