“…That donor organs may be a source of transmissible agents, particularly viruses, has been a significant concern throughout the era of solid-organ transplantation [9]. CMV [10,11], hepatitis B virus [12,13], and HIV [14][15][16] may be transmitted from donors to SOTRs. Although it is less common, the transmission of fungi, including Histoplasma capsulatum [17], Aspergillus fumigatus [18], Candida albicans [19], Scedosporium apiospermum [20], and Cryptococcus neoformans [21,22], to SOTRs has been well documented.…”

Most cases of coccidioidomycosis in organ transplant recipients arise from either primary infection with Coccidioides immitis after environmental exposure or from reactivation of latent infection. Herein, we report 2 cases of rapidly fatal, disseminated coccidioidomycosis that occurred in organ transplant recipients who had never lived in or visited an area where C. immitis is endemic. Both subjects had received a transplanted organ from the same donor, an individual with unrecognized active coccidioidomycosis at the time of his death.

“…95% Confidence intervals and levels of significance were calculated for differences in laboratory values between patients and controls, values in the patients having been monitored during the acute (days 3-7) and convalescent (days [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] phases. Student's t test was used for normally distributed samples (as shown by X2 test with p>0 10) and the Mann-Whitney U test for abnormally distributed samples-that is, those that were neither arithmetically nor logarithmically normally distributed.…”

The clinical symptoms and signs were assessed in 20 consecutive patients developing infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). All were male homosexuals and all presented with a glandularfever-like illness. Changes in laboratory values were compared with findings in 40 HIV negative male homosexual controls.In the 10 patients for whom date of exposure to the virus could be established the incubation period was 11-28 days (median 14). One or two days after the sudden onset of fever patients developed sore

“…A recent report [13] describes the onset of AIDS in 2 recipients who received allografts from a hemophiliac donor. In addition, 4 renal transplant recip ients in Berlin and 1 in Australia were found to have HIV infections [14], They had received renal allografts from 3 kidney donors who had a history of intravenous drug abuse. Our patient may have been exposed to HIV either by allograft tissue or transfusion.…”

Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Associated Kaposi’s Sarcoma in a Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipient

An 11-year-old boy developed Kaposi’s sarcoma and progressive T lymphocyte deficiency 5 years after cadaveric kidney transplantation for end-stage renal disease. He had received 17 individual red blood cell transfusions prior to and during transplantation in 1980. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was cultured from blood in cerebrospinal fluid and HIV antibodies were detected with enzyme immunoassay and immunoblot techniques. The recipient of the donor’s other kidney was well and HIV antibody-negative. The patient was treated with etoposide with excellent although transient regression of tumor. Allograft function has remained stable despite minimal immunosuppressive therapy and the need for high-dose anticonvulsant therapy. This case represents the first pediatric patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and Kaposi’s sarcoma following kidney transplantation.
