Adenovirus Infection as a Cause of Fever of Unknown Origin and Allograft Dysfunction in a Kidney Transplant Recipient.

With the recent introduction of more potent modern immunosuppressive regimens in solid-organ transplant, new types of viral infections such as adenovirus are emerging as a potential cause for graft dysfunction and loss. We report a case of 41-year-old male patient with end-stage renal disease from recurrent kidney stones who underwent kidney transplant from a deceased 12-year-old female donor. He developed adenoviral infection with acute cystitis, microscopic hematuria, and necrotizing interstitial nephritis associated with graft dysfunction within the first month of the postoperative period.

Bortezomib as a Novel Approach to Early Recurrent Membranous Glomerulonephritis After Kidney Transplant Refractory to Combined Conventional Rituximab Therapy.

We report a case of early recurrent membranous glomerulonephritis after kidney transplant from a deceased donor. The patient received induction therapy and was discharged with a serum creatinine level of 0.78 mg/dL on triple maintenance immunosuppressive therapy, which included tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisone.
