background: toxoplasmosis is one of the prevalent parasitic diseases in the world with 10-40 percent of people having it as a latent infection. in cases of renal transplants, the condition either presents itself as a result of reactivation of the latent infection resulting in the weakness of immune system in a recipient or happens when a recipient simply contracts the condition from the donor t...

Background: Despite close monitoring of transplant patients, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains one of the most critical problems in the field of transplantation. This study aims to investigate the relationship between CMV viral load and clinical laboratory findings in transplant recipients. Materials And Methods: Thirty-four transplant recipients comprising 15 kidney transplant (KT) reci...

Neurologic and psychologic complications are usually related to drug toxicity, infections or symptoms induced by deterioration of renal allograft function. Metabolic encephalopathy, hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebrovascular events, and new-onset seizures have all been reported in organ-transplant recipients. Infections can be caused by listeria, cryptococcus, nocardia, aspergillus and mu...

results 34 (34%) of the renal transplant recipients and 26 (26%) of the control group were positive for anti-toxoplasma igg. in addition 18 (18%) of the renal transplant recipients and 4 (4%) of the control group were positive for anti-toxoplasma igm. for both values of the antibodies, differences were statistically significant (p < 0.025 and p < 0.001 respectively). the pcr results indicated t...
