Article Synopsis
- Campylobacteriosis is the leading bacterial cause of diarrhea in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), but risk factors for this infection remain unclear.
- A 10-year study in France identified 326 KTRs with campylobacteriosis, revealing an incidence rate of 2.3 cases per 1,000 patient-years, primarily occurring around 2.4 years after transplantation.
- The main risk factors for developing campylobacteriosis include the use of corticosteroids, acute rejection episodes, low lymphocyte counts, and low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); treatment should prioritize azithromycin due to high resistance to fluoroquinolones.
Serious and Atypical Presentations of Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

This article describes 5 cases of bartonellosis with fever and atypical clinical presentations in kidney transplant recipients: thrombotic microangiopathies, recurrent hemophagocytosis, and immune reconstitution syndrome after treatment. The diagnosis, the pathological lesions, and treatments are described. Bartonellosis must be researched in solid organ transplant recipients with fever of undetermined origin.
