title: [Post-transplant diabetes mellitus associated with acute hepatitis C virus infection in a renal transplant recipient].
abstract: There are some controversial reports about the pathogenic role of hepatitis C virus infection on diabetes mellitus in renal graft recipients. We report a case of a renal transplanted who developed diabetes mellitus post-transplantation during an acute hepatitis C virus infection. We discuss the multifactorial etiology of post-transplant diabetes mellitus, and the possible interaction between tacrolimus and an acute virus C infection on its pathogenesis.
