Abstract:
Objective To explore the features, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary infection after kidney transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 31 pulmonary infection cases among 150 patients underwent kidney transplantation were analyzed retrospectively. Results The 31 patients with pulmonary infection after kidney transplantation included 9 cases of simple bacterial infection, 3 cases of fungus infection, 5 cases of CMV infection, 1 case of TB, 10 cases of mixed infection, and 3 cases of infection with unclear pathogen. 27 cases of the patients(27/31,87.1%) were cured, while 4 cases died of pulmonary infection.

Early etiological diagnosis, the prompt treatment of antibacterium,antivirus and antifungus, adjustment of immunosuppression regime, and strengthening the support therapy would improve the curative rate.
