To summarize the diagnosis and management of a highly sensitized renal transplant recipient who developed Legionella pneumophila infection during the perioperative period. A 48-year-old male recipient presented early after transplantation with both acute allograft rejection and pulmonary infection. The acute rejection episode was successfully reversed with appropriate treatment, whereas the pulmonary infection continued to progress. Initial microbiological tests were negative, and empirical antimicrobial therapy was ineffective. Legionella pneumophila was subsequently detected by metagenomic next-generation sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained via bronchoscopy. Following combined therapy with moxifloxacin and tigecycline, along with withdrawal of immunosuppressive agents, the pulmonary lesions completely resolved.

Objective:To analyze the iodine nutrition status of pregnant women in Weihai City before and after (2022, 2023) the iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) intervention, evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures, and provide a scientific basis for adjusting IDD prevention strategies in the city.Methods:In May 2023, the intervention action of IDD was carried out for pregnent women in Weihai City. In April 2022 and December 2023, respectively, a cross-sectional survey method was conducted in four districts (cities) of Weihai City. Each district (city) was divided into five areas (east, west, south, north, and central) each year, and one township (street) was selected from each areas. At least 20 pregnant women were selected from each township (street) as survey subjects, and their household salt samples and random urine samples were collected to measure salt iodine and urinary iodine concentrations, and to compare the test results.Results:A total of 922 household salt samples were tested, including 530 iodized salt samples and 469 qualified iodized salt samples. The median salt iodine was 24.00 mg/kg. The coverage rate of iodized salt, the qualified rate of iodized salt, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt were 57.48%, 88.49%, and 50.87%, respectively. No significant difference was observed in medians salt iodine between 2022 (24.26 mg/kg) and 2023 (24.00 mg/kg, Z = - 1.58, P = 0.113). However, the coverage rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt in 2023 werehigher than those in 2022 [73.72% (373/506) vs 37.74% (157/416), 65.22% (330/506) vs 33.41% (139/416), χ 2 = 120.90, 92.40, P < 0.001]. A total of 922 urine samples were collected from pregnant women, with a median urinary iodine of 135.90 μg/L. The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in 2022 was 113.55 μg/L. There was a statistically significant difference in medians urinary iodine among different regions ( H = 27.91, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in 2023 was 153.00 μg/L. There was no statistically significant difference in medians urinary iodine among different regions ( H = 3.33, P = 0.343). The medians urinary iodine of pregnant women in Huancui District, Wendeng District, and Rushan City in 2023 (156.60, 155.00, 140.85 μg/L) were higher than those in 2022 (93.60, 110.00, 110.70 μg/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = - 5.44, - 4.92, - 5.99, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in Weihai City in 2023 showed a statistically significant difference compared to 2022 ( Z = - 7.62, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The IDD intervention measures in Weihai City have achieved good results, and the coverage of iodized salt, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, and the iodine nutrition level of pregnant women have improved. We should continue to implement intervention measures, improve the iodine nutrition level of key populations, and maintain a sustained elimination of IDD.
