[Causes and therapeutic principles of pulmonary infections in renal transplant recipients].
Pulmonary infection after renal transplantation is a well recognized and prevalent postoperative complication, which can occur at either the early stage or late stage after transplantation. The etiology and this phenomenon and its impacts remains unclear. It may be life-threatening in severe patients. Early diagnosis and treatment are important; meanwhile, the dosage of immunosuppressant should be minimized. Prophylactic management should also be emphasized.
