High seroprevalence of CMV among Algerian hemodialysis patients and the general population: Intermediate-risk patients for post-transplant CMV infection.

Introduction: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a virus of the herpesviridae family. CMV infection is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised subjects such as hemodialysis patients and transplant recipients. The aim of our study was to determine the serological status of potential kidney recipients and donors in order to assess the risk of post-transplant CMV infection and disease.

Intraperitoneal Cystic Lymphangioma (CL) is a rare benign malformative disease of lymphatic origin, with a wide range of clinical symptoms. Diagnosis is based on imaging tests and confirmed by histology. We here report the case of a 54-year-old woman presenting with chronic abdominal pain, with no effect on general condition.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 is a common pathology, the increase in its incidence and prevalence has been noted worldwide. In Algeria, few studies have been done on the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease, the real extent of its incidence in southern Algeria remains unknown.

Aim: To determine the incidence in 2017 of chronic kidney disease stage 5 treated by renal replacement in southeastern Algeria.

Evaluation of the Humoral and Cellular Immune Response Post COVID-19 Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Kidney transplantation is a major risk factor for severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The dynamics and the persistence of the immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in this immunocompromised population remain largely unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the persistence of humoral and cellular immune response in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and to establish whether immunosuppressive therapy influenced long-term immunity in this population.
