Recently, serotype K1 Klebsiella pneumoniae has been a major agent of an invasive syndrome characterized by liver abscess and its metastatic infection. Extrahepatic infection and its characteristics in patients with renal abscess caused by K. pneumoniae are poorly understood, and few cases of central nervous system infection have been reported. This is a report of 80-year-old woman with uncontr...

BACKGROUND Chicken pox, although a common infection among children, is rare in immunocompromised patients, particularly renal transplant recipients, and carries a very high incidence of morbidity and mortality There is little data on chickenpox in adult renal transplant recipients, although reports have suggested that it may follow a virulent course requiring frequent hospitalization, and in se...

Renal infarction usually occurs against a background of heart disease or a thromboembolic tendency and rarely is associated with infections. Here we present a case of a young boy who reported with painless gross hematuria following primary Varicella infection and was found to have an isolated renal infarct.

Coronavirus infection has had a significant impact on people around the world, however, there is category of patients who are at high risk severe disease - kidney transplant recipients. The due to presence pronounced comorbid background, long-term background immunosuppression, secondary infection, and graft dysfunction as result infection. This paper presents series clinical cases COVID-19 in W...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of renal scars in children with primary vesicoureteral reflux taking into consideration the following variables: sex, age at diagnosis, febrile urinary infection, degree of reflux and bacteria specimen. METHOD Retrospective study of 58 children with age ranging from 2 months to 11 years, presenting primary vesicoureteral reflux detected by voiding cystoure...

For instance, toxoplasmosis is common after renal transplantation. An incidence rate of 0.14 % was reported in a recent study. GHARAVI et al. in another study have reported secondary infection in 3% of renal transplant patients. Primary infection usually occurs in a majority of the patients with incidence as high 81.8% being reported. Sero-negative patients are 15 times more likely to develop t...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most commonly diagnosed bacterial infections of child‐ hood, and have a significant healthcare impact. Renal parenchymal infection and scarring are well-established complications of UTI in children and can lead to renal insufficiency, hy‐ pertension and renal failure. Although frequently encountered and well researched, diagno‐ sis and management of UTI cont...

The lesions of HIV-associated nephropathy occur in patients with AIDS, AIDS-related complex and in individuals clinically asymptomatic for HIV infection. We report on a 35-year-old black South African woman who presented with nephrotic syndrome and renal failure. The renal biopsy appearance suggested HIV infection and this was subsequently verified. This finding emphasises the possibility that ...

We present a 15 year old boy who developed severe rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure following influenza B infection. His renal function was restored after appropriate therapy for rhabdomyolysis. Although rapidly progressive pneumonia, respiratory failure, and acute respiratory distress syndrome are the most common severe complications of influenza B infection, clinicians should be aware th...

BACKGROUND Some aspects of kidney transplant outcome in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients are still controversial. Besides, published experience is scarce in Europe. METHODS A multicentre case-control study was designed to analyse the outcome of renal transplant in HIV + patients in Spain. Twenty HIV + patients were compared with a matched cohort of 40 HIV - recipients. R...
