[Aspergillosis--a rare complicating disease in patients after renal transplantation].
The authors submit a detailed analysis of the death of a 42-year-old man after a second renal transplantation. The patient died with symptoms of cardiac failure in a septic condition of obscure etiology where even detailed examination did not provide a timely answer as regards the lethal pathogen. Aspergillus fumigatus is a rare lethal pathogen. Despite this it is, as all opportune infections, for patients with immunosuppressive therapy a serious life threatening infection [1, 2]. In a group of 650 transplantations performed since 1961 in Hradec Králové it is the first death caused by generalized Aspergillus infection.
