THE INFECTIOUS COMPLICATIONS OF THE RENAL TRANSPLANT

The purpose of this study is to determine factors predisposing to the infectious complications after renal transplant as well as the diagnostic and the therapeutics modalities in front of such a complication. It is a retrospective study of a 213 infectious complications case after renal transplant observed in the service of urology (Charles Nicolle Tunisia) between June 1986 and December 2005. Among our transplanted patients 146 (44 %) presented as urinary infection ( E.Coli 21,2 %, Enterobacter species 11 %, Pyocyanique 10 %, Pseudomonas 9,5 %, Klebsiella 9,5 %, Staph 9 %, Tbc 1 case). The infection was premature in 109 cases (74.6 %) and noted later in 37 patients (25.4 %). Among our patients 36 (11 %) presented as lung infection. In 13 cases (36 %) it was premature, 23 late (64 %). The causative agent was the BK in a case, staph in 3 cases, Pneumocystis carinii in 2 cases and no specific germ in the other cases. We listed 6 cases of meningitis among which one was due to Listéria and with 3 deaths. Among 213 patients 90 presented a viral infection (53 CMV, 32 herpes, 7 zona, 1 EBV) and 18 fungal infections to candida (8 oral, 10 cutaneous). In conclusion, the post renal transplant infection is a frequent complication and which can be grave.
