Background: Viral infections are known as a major cause of mortality after renal transplantation. Objective: In this study, we assessed the incidence rate, risk factors, and complications of viral infections after kidney transplantation. Methods: This retrospective study was performed during 2012-2014 in Montaserieh Hospital, Mashhad, northeastern Iran. Medical records of 193 patients were studies. Patients did not receive any prophylaxis against viral infections such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) and varicella-zoster (VZ). Results: 93 (49.7%) kidney transplant recipients developed 160 episodes of infection. The incidence rate of viral infection in kidney recipients, who did not have received any prophylaxis, was 30%. CMV (22.5%), VZ (3.75%), herpes simplex (2.5%), and BK virus infection (1.25%) were the most common viral infections in kidney transplant recipients. Conclusion: Viral infection was common following kidney transplantation, particularly in those who do not receive prophylaxis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
