SYNOPSIS This paper brings forward evidence to suggest that the amino-acid transport defect known to occur in the kidneys of cystinurics is also present in the gut.
The date of onset of 360 acute renal transplant rejection episodes from 1969 to 1973 have been compared with the prevalence of various common viral infections and infections due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. A positive correlation was found for influenza B infections (r = 0.43, p < 0.01) up to 5 months before transplantation and for adenovirus infections (r = 0.32, p < 0.05) at 1 month before kidney grafting.
