“…This second patient also developed orchitis and vestibular neuronitis with persistent vertigo after recovery. All three patients survived [123,146,147]. Both cases in the HSCT literature document fatal encephalitis in young patients with severe combined immunodeficiency treated with HSCT.…”

“…One patient recovered spontaneously (15). Interstitial nephritis in a renal allograft has been reported only once before in a patient who had returned to dialysis 2 months before infection with mumps (16 (5,19,20). In transplant recipients, vaccination with live attenuated virus is relatively contraindicated, although in several small studies in children no adverse effects of mumps vaccination were found (20,21).…”

Recently two major outbreaks of mumps have occurred: in the UK more than 56,000 cases were notified between 2004 and 2005, and in the United States, 6,584 cases were reported in 2006. Most patients were young healthy adults, in whom mumps normally has a benign course. Little is known about mumps in the immunocompromised patient. Here, we report a case of a 56-year renal transplant recipient who developed acute irreversible transplant failure due to interstitial nephritis caused by mumps. RNA of the mumps virus was detected in the urine as well as in a renal biopsy. In view of the ongoing presence of the mumps virus in the population, one should be aware of the possible occurrence of this infection in immunocompromised patients.
