The Case of a Female Transplant Patient

A patient in her 40s had a transplant four months ago. She has recurrent episodes of grand negative bacteria, non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms without an identifiable source. Dr. Ellen Gannon: It's important to remember that infectious complications follow a specific timeline after transplantation. After the first month and generally up to 100 days is a period of cell mediated immune deficiency due to the anti-rejection regimens.
