[Long-term observation of fungal and other skin disorders after renal transplantation (author's transl)].
All of 68 renal transplant recipients (mean observation time 28.4 months after transplantation) showed skin complications. In these subjects fungal infection was found in 51, viral disease in 45 and bacterial infection in 36 cases. Of fungal manifestations candidiasis, onychomycosis, and dermatomycosis were most commonly observed. The most important viral disease was herpes simplex. The main part of bacterial infections was either caused by surgical complications or by super-infection (impetigo) of steroid acne. Non infectious dermatological disorders were usually due to immunosuppressive therapy.
