Sporotrichosis in Renal Transplant Patients

Abstract: The current report describes two renal transplant recipients who presented with sporotrichosis. In addition, the authors review the general aspects of sporotrichosis in renal transplant recipients reported in the literature. Sporotrichosis is a rare fungal infection in transplant patients and has been reported primarily in renal transplant recipients not treated with antifungal prophylaxis. Extracutaneous forms of sporotrichosis without skin manifestations and no previous history of traumatic injuries have bee… Show more

“…In India, during a period of two years, 40 renal transplants were performed and pulmonary sporotrichosis was diagnosed in one patient on triple drug immunosuppression [124]. Finally, there are three additional cases in kidney transplant recipients reported in the literature, one case of cutaneous disseminated and two of disseminated disease [23,125]. All patients were taking immunosuppressive agents and were successfully treated with antifungal therapy including amphotericin B deoxycholate, lipid amphotericin B formulations, fluconazole and itraconazole.…”

“…How do they conduct complicated human cases and those presenting atypical clinical manifestations such as the ones described in recent years? [ 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Although the increase in the number of cases has been accompanied by problems for the health system, it has created opportunities to produce knowledge and to deepen the study of human and animal cases that were previously scarce.…”
