Popis: Despite attempts to establish a situation of tolerance to an allograft, at present, kidney transplantation is inevitably associated with the use of immunosuppressive drugs and, consequently, an increased risk of infection [1,2]. Here we present a patient with a kidney transplant who developed a bacteraemia with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis 5 years after transplantation, which is a rare complication of Y.pseudotuberculosis infection and has been reported only once before in the context of kidney transplantation.
