The incidence of wound infection after 310 renal transplant operations was examined. Among the 78 recipients not given prophylactic antibiotic therapy infection of the transplant wound occurred in 25.6%.

Studies of cytomegalovirus infection in renal allograft recipients. II. Serological response to various viral antigens.

In a prospective study the antibody response to various cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigens was examined in 28 renal allograft recipients. Both primary and secondary infections were investigated. Antibodies against immediate early (IEA) and early antigens (EA) were studied by anti-complement immunofluorescence; IgM and IgG antibodies to nuclear late antigens were differentiated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
