| 초록 | Background: - Methods: - Results: Most opportunistic infections in kidney transplant patients (KTP)s are known to occur within a year after transplantation. In particular, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) are common, but their incidence has been reduced to prophylaxis treatment. Recently, the incidence of these infections is increasing again because of the strong immunosuppressive therapy, such as antithymocyte globulin induction, desensitization and rejection therapy. However, there are few reports of late-onset concurrent PJP and CMV infection without the strong immunosuppressive therapy in KTPs. Herein we report a case of a KTP who experienced a serious episode of concurrent PJP and CMV pneumonitis. After mechanical ventilation and continuous renal replacement therapy using intravenous ganciclovir, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and steroid, the patient completely recovered without any complications. Conclusion: - |
