title: HIV infection with viro-immunological dissociation in a patient with polycystic kidney disease: Candidate for transplantation?
abstract: Here we describe the case of a HIV-infected patient with polycystic kidney disease and end stage renal diseases not transplantable due to the persistence of a CD4 count <200 notwithstanding a good virological response to highly active antiretroviral therapy and suggest that such limitation to kidney transplantation in such as cases might be bypassed.
