Pathogen Analysis of Community Acquired Pneumonia after Renal Transplantation

Objective To investigate pathogen diagnosis of community acquired pneumonia (CAP)and improve the management of pulmonary infection in patients after renal transp1antation. Methods The onset time,pathogen and clinical manifestation of CAP were retrospectively analyzed in 40 patients after renal transp1antation. Results The main etiological microorganisms of CAP were bacterium,virus, fungi or tuberculosis mainly within 6 months. Among them,2 cases had polyinfection. Aspergilli and pneumocystis carinii pneumonia led to high mortality rate. Conclusion Early diagnosis and empirical therapy are very important. The diagnosis and active treatment contribute to the decrease in case fatality.
