Abstract

This study was to discuss the clinical diagnosis and treatment features of severe pulmonary infections after renal transplantation, in order to improve the cure rate. Retrospective research was applied to analyze the 52 cases of patients with serve pulmonary infection after renal transplantation in the department of organ transplantation in People's Hospital of Zhengzhou from July, 2008 to December, 2013. The pathogens which caused the pulmonary infection after renal transplantation were bacteria, virus, fungi, mycobacterium tuberculosis, combined infection and unknown pathogens, and the rate were respectively 28.85%, 15.38%, 7.69%, 3.85%, 21.15% and 23.08%. In the 52 cases, there were 41 cases of patients successfully survived, which was 78.85% and 11 cases died, which was 21.15%. The mortality rate of combined infection and unknown pathogens infection was significantly higher than that of single pathogen infection. Pulmonary infection after renal transplantation was of rapid deteriorated progress and high mortality rate. It was significant for patients to receive the comprehensive and integrated treatment.
