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.
Background: Aspergillus spp. is an uncommon and life-threatening cause of transplantrenal artery pseudoaneurysm after kidney transplantation.
Case: We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who underwent kidney transplantation 10 months before and presented a 7-cm asymptomatic transplant renal artery pseudoaneurysm.
Article Synopsis
- Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies have been developed to treat severe cases of COVID-19 by targeting the Spike protein of the virus, SARS-CoV-2, but can lead to mutations in the virus.
- A case study is presented of an immunosuppressed patient with a B.1.1.7 variant who received these treatments and developed three specific mutations in the Spike protein: K417N, E484K, and Q493R.
- The findings emphasize the need for careful monitoring of virus mutations in patients on monoclonal antibody therapy to improve infection management and prevent variant transmission.

Our study was retrospective, including all cases of encephalitis hospitalized in the Cayenne General Hospital, from January 2007 to July 2017. Patients were included through the 2013 encephalitis consortium criteria and the outcome was evaluated using the Glasgow outcome scale at 3 months from the diagnosis of encephalitis.
