Renal transplant recipient with advanced HIV infection: graft and peripheral cell population analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scenario of a renal transplant recipient who is diagnosed with HIV infection in the late post transplant period is very uncommon. The viral infection effect on immunologic stability, regulatory cells, and allogeneic response during immune quiescence and graft acceptance provides a fertile ground in organ transplantation research and translational immunology.

متن کاملLate presentation of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia after renal transplant: A case report
The highest risk of opportunistic infections is from 1 to 6 months post-transplant. We report a rare case of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in a renal transplant recipient only on maintenance immunosuppression eleven years after transplant without concomitant CMV infection or recent episodes of graft rejection.
متن کاملSuperior outcomes in HIV-positive kidney transplant patients compared to HCV-infected or HIV/HCV co-infected recipients
The prerequisite for an 'undetectable' HIV viral load has restricted access to transplantation for HIV-infected kidney recipients. However, HCV-infected recipients, owing to the historic limitations of HCV therapy in patients with renal disease, are commonly viremic at transplant and have universal access. To compare the effect of HIV, HCV, and HIV/HCV coinfection on kidney transplant patient a...

متن کاملSevere, late-onset graft-versus-host disease in a liver transplant recipient documented by chimerism analysis.
A 52-year-old liver transplant recipient presented 8 months after transplantation with oral thrush, then 3 days later with oral ulcers and a diffuse rash, and 5 days later with an acutely reduced white blood cell count, rash, fever, and diarrhea. Bone marrow biopsy revealed severe aplasia. Although graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was considered, the late onset of these symptoms was felt to ren...
