Abstract:Purpose: Kidney Transplant Recipients (KTRs) tend to develop infections with characteristic epidemiology, presentation and outcome. While infective endocarditis (IE) is among such complications in KTRs, literature is scarce. We describe the presentation, epidemiology, and factors associated with IE in KTRs. Methods: We performed a retrospective case/control study which included patients from two centers. First episodes of definite or possible IE (Duke criteria), in adult KTRs from January 2007 to December 2018… Show more
