Abstract

Recurrent pleural effusions are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Pleural effusions are frequently seen in patients with chronic renal failure due to fluid retention. Pleural effusions in renal transplant patients are usually related to secondary pulmonary infections, surgical complications, drug toxicities, or post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). We describe an unusual cause of recurrent pleural effusion attributed to fungal infection in a transplanted kidney due to activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), successfully treated with antifungal medications that led to complete resolution of pleural effusion.

移植肾中白色念珠菌感染引发的复发性胸腔积液：病例报告。

复发性胸腔积液与严重的发病率和死亡率有关。由于体液潴留，慢性肾衰竭患者经常会出现胸腔积液。肾移植患者的胸腔积液通常与继发性肺部感染、手术并发症、药物毒性或移植后淋巴增生性疾病（PTLD）有关。我们描述了一种不同寻常的反复胸腔积液病因，即移植肾因肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统（RAAS）激活导致真菌感染，抗真菌药物治疗成功后胸腔积液完全消退。

期刊介绍： Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication. The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics. Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board. Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
