Parvovirus in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: Parvovirus testing is not done in routine clinical practice; thus, it is possible that reported parvovirus cases are just the tip of the iceberg of total prevalence. We present a single-center retrospective analysis of 22 events of parvovirus B19 anemia in 20 renal transplant recipients, among which 2 patients had recurrence.

Materials And Methods: For this descriptive analytical study, parvovirus B19 disease was defined as parvovirus infection (detection by real-time polymerase chain reaction) in the presence of anemia with clinical symptoms or bone marrow biopsy findings consistent with the diagnosis.

A Comparative Analysis of Chikungunya in Kidney Transplant Recipients Compared With the General Population: A Multicenter, Retrospective, Cohort Study From India.

Objectives: Chikungunya is an arboviral illness, with patients presenting with fever, arthralgias, and myalgias. Outbreaks have occurred in tropical regions, and the virus is now endemic to many tropics, including South Asia, with India contributing a large part of the global burden. The presentation and long-term effects on transplant recipients are largely unknown.

COVID-19 Vaccination in Solid-Organ Transplant: A Real-World Multicenter Experience.

Objectives: India ranks third globally in organ procurement and transplant and has the second highest COVID-19 incidence rate, but data regarding COVID-19 vaccination in solid-organ transplant patients are scarce.

Materials And Methods: We created a cross-sectional, anonymous, online questionnaire and sentinvitations to several transplant centers in India. We surveyed vaccine mandates, immunization coverage and side effects, administration timing, infection severity among solid-organ transplant recipients, and booster dosage recommendations.

Case Reports: Survival from Rabies: Case Series from India.

Rabies, a zoonotic viral encephalitis, continues to be a serious public health problem in India and several other countries in Asia and Africa. Survival is rarely reported in rabies, which is considered to be almost universally fatal. We report the clinical and radiological findings of eight patients with laboratory-confirmed rabies who survived the illness.
