Screening for and treating asymptomatic bacteriuria are common in KTRs despite uncertainties around the benefits and harms. In an era of antimicrobial resistance, further studies are needed to address the diagnosis and management of asymptomatic bacteriuria in these patients.

An updated review of cases of reactivated visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in transplant patients is presented, with a new report of a kidney transplant patient who had VL caused by reactivation of a dormant infection contracted 21 years previously. Close to the time of disease reactivation, the patient had a primary varicella-zoster infection.
