Role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in the Rapid Diagnosis of Pulmonary Infections in Renal Allograft Recipients with Respiratory Failure.

Background: Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, allograft recipients are at a higher risk of infection due to immunosuppressive therapies. This study aimed to analyze the utility of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) lung in the etiological diagnosis of pulmonary infections in renal allograft recipients with respiratory failure.
