Abstract
- Impaired cell‐mediated, as well as antibody‐mediated immunity predisposes a renal transplant recipient to a wide variety of atypical infection. With an increasing number of re‐transplant, the balance between immunosuppression and the risk of recurrent disease poses a clinical and therapeutic challenge. Here, we report a successful re‐transplantation in a case of parvovirus B19 infection leading to anaemia and collapsing glomerulopathy in the allograft managed with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and reduction of immunosuppression. This case emphasizes re‐consideration to renal transplant after clearance of the virus in a previous renal allograft lost to PVB19 infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
