| Abstrakt: | Abstract: Nosocomial Burkholderia cepacia infection in the clinical setting of postrenal transplantation pyrexia of unknown origin and the role of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in treatment optimization in such situation is presented in this report. The consequence of fastidious infection by nosocomial colonizing organisms like B. cepacia can be catastrophic in immunocompromised postrenal transplant individuals causing severe urinary tract infection. In the presented case, following 2 weeks of IV antibiotics, the patient didn't show clinical response, and FDG PET scan recognized multifocal infective sites early, likely representing immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome and timely appropriate and optimal treatment salvaged the renal graft.
