Background: Pneumonia caused by opportunistic fungi is a serious complication in immunocompromised patients. Hypercalcemia has been described in renal transplantation associated with Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP) or Histoplasma capsulatum (HCP) pneumonia.
Methods: We describe 5 patients who underwent kidney transplant between 2014 and 2019 and developed hypercalcemia before the diagnosis of pulmonary fungal infection: 4 patients with PJP and 1 with HCP.
