Acute kidney injury requiring dialysis secondary to adenovirus nephritis in renal transplant recipient

Abstract: Disseminated adenoviral infection is a serious problem, especially in an immunocompromised host. The disease carries a mortality rate reaching as high as 80%. It is seen most frequently in bone marrow transplant recipients, where it causes pneumonia and disseminated disease. In solid organ transplant recipients it causes graft infection. We report the case of a renal transplant recipient with disseminated adenoviral infection and acute kidney failure requiring dialysis. Reduction of immunosuppression and 1 dos… Show more

“…Th e 2011 European guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of adenovirus infection in leukemia and stem cell transplantation recommend a multipronged approach (18). Th e key management strategies are reduction of immunosuppression and supportive care (19,20). As in our patient, adenovirus infection of the kidney and bladder can lead to ureteral obstruction, which was reversed with stent placement.…”

“…A leggyakoribb az adenovírus B7, B11, B34, B35-ös szerotípus. Tipikus tünetek: haemorrhagiás cystitis, pyelonephritis, allograft-diszfunkció vagy rejectio, néhány esetben pneumonia, 17%-os mortalitási rátával [18,35]. A B-speciesbe tartozó adenovírusok gyakran kimutathatók vizeletből, némely szerotípus előfordulása általánosnak tekinthető [36].…”

“…Adenovírus-fertőzések felderítésében a szerológiai teszteket széles körben alkalmazzák, de ezek használ-hatósága immunszuppresszált egyénekben korlátozott, a csökkent immunreakciók következtében [35]. Az adenovírusok kimutatásának és tipizálásának "gold standard"-je a vírus izolálása [45].…”
