“…In a study by Sarier et al, 80 sexually active asymptomatic kidney transplant recipients were screened with vaginal or urethral swabs and urine samples, and findings were compared to 80 healthy controls. 5 The prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis and Ureaplasma species were significantly higher among the transplant population, whereas no difference was found in other findings. Of note, no cases of N. gonorrhoeae or C. trachomatis were detected among the transplant patients.…”

“…Of note, no cases of N. gonorrhoeae or C. trachomatis were detected among the transplant patients. 5 In a retrospective study by Ashoor et al including 49 pediatric transplant patients above the age of 13, STIs were recorded in 4/13 sexually active patients with a higher frequency in female patients. 6 One possible explanation to the lower incidence of STIs among kidney transplant patients compared to the general population is the high comorbidity among transplant patients that may result in sexual dysfunction and lower likelihood of being sexually active.…”

“…Only a few reports can be found in the literature about sexually transmitted infections (STI) in SOT recipients, and they are limited by the low number patients and unsystematic approach to describe the incidence and burden caused by these infections. 5,6 Many transplant recipients are old or with multiple comorbidities and may not be considered as the highest risk group for STIs. On the other hand, many kidney transplant patients receive their transplants during childhood or adolescence and have baseline diseases limited only to kidney function without any systemic manifestations, and should be considered at equal risk for STIs compared to the general population.…”

Aim:The burden of sexually transmitted infections (STI) among solid-organ transplant recipients is currently unknown. We studied the risk of STIs among kidney transplant recipients compared with the general population in a nationwide cohort. Methods: Between 2002 and 2019, all microbiological findings of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum (syphilis), and human immunodeficiency virus among kidney transplant recipients <65 years and transplanted between 1995 and 2017 in our country were captured from statutory national registries. Data from the general population of Finland, population 5.5 million, were used for comparisons.Incidence of STIs and age and sex-adjusted standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were calculated.Results: Altogether 3612 transplantations, with a total follow-up of 27 069 personyears were included. A total of 30 STIs microbiological findings of STI were confirmed in 25 patients: C. trachomatis (N = 27), N. gonorrhoeae (N = 2), and syphilis (N = 1). No hospitalizations associated with STIs were detected. The risk of STI after kidney transplantation was significantly lower compared to the general population (SIR, 0.57, 95% CI 0.39-0.80). The lower risk of STIs was more pronounced in female patients (SIR 0.40, 95% CI 0.20-0.74), whereas in male patients the difference was statistically not significant (SIR 0.69, 95% CI 0.44-1.04). Of the confirmed STI cases, 30% were detected in patients who received their transplants during adolescence.

Mycoplasmas and Ureaplasmas inhabit the genitourinary tract of sexually active males and females. Mycoplasma genitalium infection as well as Ureaplasma urealyticum are related to many reproductive health problems such as cervicitis, urethritis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). the aim of this study was detection of Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum cervical colonization among childbearing age females attending Gynecology and Obstetrics clinics at Ain Shams University Hospital by using polymerase chain reaction. This study was conducted on 145 women attending Gynecology and Obstetrics clinics at Ain Shams University Hospital. The patients were divided into three groups according to symptoms. Cervical samples were collected using a sterile swab and placed in a liquid-based transport medium. The detection of Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum was performed by using polymerase chain reaction. This study was conducted during the period from January 2018 till August 2018 on145 women attending Gynecology and obstetrics clinic at Ain Shams University Hospital. Ninety females (62%)were positively colonized with Mycoplasma spp and U. urealyticum. M. genitalium was detected in 25 patients (28%), 10 patients (11%) were positive for M. hominis and 55 patients (61%) were positive for U. urealyticum. Group (1): 60 patients attending STD clinic. Twenty patients (33.3%) were positive for U. urealyticum, five (8.3%) were positive for M. hominis and seventeen (28.3%)were positive for M. genitalium. Group (2): 50patientswith premature rupture of membranes. Twenty eight patients(56%)were positive for U. urealyticum, two patients (4%) were positive for M. hominis and seven patients (14%) were positive for M. genitalium. Group (3): 35 patients with pelvic inflammatory disease. Seven patients(20%) were positive for U. urealyticum, three patients (8.6%) were positive for M. hominis and one patient (2.9%) was positive for M. genitalium. The highest prevalence of U. urealyticum was associated with premature rupture of membranes. The highest prevalence of M. genitalium was determined in STD clinic patients. This study shows a high prevalence of genitourinary infections due to U. urealyticum which was considerably higher when compared to Mycoplasma spp. and is significantly associated with premature rupture of membranes. M. genitalium was confirmed as an important cause of STD. The use of PCR for identification of Mycoplasmas and U. urealyticum on cervical samples should be recommended. Further studies are needed to definitely associates with Spontaneous rupture of membranes and U. urealyticum colonization.

Evaluation of the Renal Arteries of 2,144 Living Kidney Donors Using Computed Tomography Angiography and Comparison with Intraoperative Findings

et al. 2020

Objectives: A carefully chosen and suitably prepared kidney donor is essential in living-donor kidney transplantation. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is an effective imaging method for evaluating the renovascular morphology of donor candidates. The aim of this study was to evaluate renal artery variations in kidney donors using CTA and compare the findings with the number of arteries detected during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Materials and Methods: The study included 2,144 living donors who underwent pretransplant renovascular assessment using CTA and laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in our center between August 2012 and October 2018. The number of renal arteries to the donor kidney detected on CTA was compared with the number of arteries discovered intraoperatively. Results: The mean age of the 2,144 living kidney donors included in the study was 47.19 ± 13.3 (18-87) years. According to CTA findings, 81.1% (n = 1,738) had a single renal artery, 17.2% (n = 369) had double renal arteries, 1.6% (n = 35) had triple renal arteries, and 0.1% (n = 2) had quadruple renal arteries. The same number of renal arteries were detected by CTA and in laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in 97.9% (n = 2,099) of the donors. In the other 2.1% (n = 45), fewer renal arteries were detected intraoperatively compared to their CTA findings. None of the donors included in the study had a greater number of renal arteries discovered during nephrectomy than by CTA. Conclusion: CTA is a highly accurate method for the evaluation of renovascular variations in donor candidates for living-donor kidney transplantation. However, it must be kept in mind that double or multiple renal artery variations may be detected on CTA in 18.9% of donor candidates.

Abstract: Sexually transmitted diseases may occur more frequently in sexually active asymptomatic renal transplant recipients than in nontransplanted individuals. Real-time multiplex polymerase chain reaction analysis may be a suitable method for determining these pathogens.
