Abstract Background Infection with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has been associated high morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. The main objective of this study was to assess the influence carbapenem resistance other potential risk factors on outcome A. infection after kidney liver transplantation. Methods Retrospective a case series among renal primary death infection. Multivariate logistic regression used covariates outcome. Results Forty-nine cases...
Background Severe Strongyloides stercoralis infection in kidney transplant recipients is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, although little known about the risk factors for such infection. Methodology/Principal findings This was a retrospective, multicenter, case–control study which we assessed clinical outcomes of severe S. infections Brazil. We included 138 recipients: 46 cases 92 controls. Among cases, median number days from transplantation to diagnosis 117...
Abstract BK polyomavirus (BKV) is highly prevalent in the world population. Different reports indicate that BKV subtypes and subgroups present an uneven geographical distribution which might be correlated with human migration. However, there a lack of data on subtype South American The occurrence detected 51 kidney transplant recipients Rio de Janeiro, Brazil described. According to genetic studies, population this region descends mainly from European or African immigrants, relatively low...
ABSTRACT The fungus Fusarium sacchari was isolated repeatedly from the blood of an immunosuppressed host. infection treated successfully with a small dose amphotericin B. strain resistant to this antifungal in vitro. MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations six antifungals for clinical isolate are provided. To our knowledge, is first report involving case fungemia.
Abstract Aim The focus in renal transplantation is to increase long‐term allograft survival. One of the limiting factors calcineurin inhibitor ( CNI )‐induced fibrosis. This study attempted examine histological aspect interstitial fibrosis and modulation transforming growth factor‐β TGF ‐β) canonical signalling pathway following early withdrawal from sirolimus‐based immunosuppressive therapy. Methods Forty‐five kidney transplant recipients with low‐medium immunologic risk were randomized...
Tubular dysfunction is prevalent among kidney transplant patients using calcineurin inhibitors, but our knowledge of the tubular effects mTOR inhibitors more limited.60 outpatients either inhibitor tacrolimus or sirolimus were investigated for renal dysfunction. Proximal tubule function was assessed by quantification albumin and β2-microglobulin, reabsorption phosphate fractional excretion bicarbonate. Distal evaluated water deprivation test urinary acidification furosemide fludrocortisone...
In this cross-sectional study, 207 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative kidney transplant recipients were evaluated based on demographic and epidemiological data the levels of serological markers virus (HBV) C infection liver enzymes. Patients with HBV or human immunodeficiency excluded. Sera analysed for presence HBV-DNA. HBV-DNA was detected in two patients (1%), indicating occult (OHB) (the loads 3.1 3.5 IU/mL these patients). The results function tests normal no indicative...
Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) is a major cause of graft dysfunction after kidney transplantation. Therefore, routine screening for BK polyomavirus (BKV) infection with urine cytology or quantitative PCR-based assays has been recommended. Although less expensive than tests, qualitative PCR are not recommended based on the assumption that their diagnostic accuracy inferior to cytology. However, studies comparing performance both methods scarce.We compared between seminested...
INTRODUCTION: There are medications capable of affecting bone metabolism and the rate tooth movement. Among these immunosuppressants, which act by repressing action T lymphocytes, however they can cause loss consequently lead to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a common complication following kidney, heart, liver or lung transplantation. The immunosuppressant treatment for preventing organ rejection after transplantation, in general, includes glucocorticoids, cyclosporine, tacrolimus,...

OBJETIVO: Relacionar a influência dos dois tipos de anastomoses arteriais empregadas (término-terminal e término-lateral), da idade do receptor, rim doador vivo ou cadáver uso remendo aórtico ("patch") quanto à presença não estenose artéria renal e, avaliar o tratamento destas estenoses. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo 278 pacientes submetidos transplante no Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho (HUCFF), maio 1989 2001. RESULTADOS: Não se mostrou relação entre as variáveis estudadas com...
The identification of infection in an internal medicine ward is crucial but not always straightforward. Eosinopenia has been proposed as a marker infection, specific cutoffs for prediction are established yet. We aim to assess whether there difference eosinophil count between infected and noninfected patients and, if so, the best differentiate them.Cross-sectional, observational study with analysis all admitted Internal Medicine Department during 2 consecutive months. Clinical, laboratory...
Ptosis, or eyelid drooping, can be an early indicator of various neurological and muscular disorders, underscoring the need for accurate diagnosis to ensure proper management. Myasthenia gravis (MG), a neuromuscular disorder, may initially present with isolated ocular symptoms, often resulting in diagnostic delays. This report details case 72-year-old male who presented emergency department two-week history progressive unilateral ptosis. A examination, paired "ice pack test" - simple,...
