Abstract
Opportunistic infections occur in immunosuppressed patients. The latent infections may be reactivated after transplantation with the use of immunosuppressive agents. Some infections are the result of community exposures, whereas some are transferred with allograft. Co-infections can occur, and diagnosis might be missed at initial presentation. We report a renal allograft recipient presenting with odynophagia and dysphagia who was found to have herpes simplex virus and Candida esophagitis. With appropriate therapy, there was complete resolution of symptoms. Early diagnosis and initiation of treatment would result in a better outcome.
