[Dysphagia, cavernous changes of the lungs and subarachnoid hemorrhage following kidney transplantation].
A 54-year-old patient with polycystic kidney disease developed relapsing urinary-tract infections after renal transplantation. In the post-transplantation period he underwent two rejection episodes. The general condition worsened without obvious reason. Six months after transplantation the patient was hospitalized due to gram-negative sepsis. Despite adequate antimicrobial treatment he continued to lose weight and complained of dysphagia. Chest X-ray and computer tomogram of the thorax showed multiple cavitating infiltrations of the lung. A few days later the patient died from an extended subarachnoidal hemorrhage.
