Abstract
The surinfection of the renal graft by multi-resistant germs constitutes a serious complication, which can engage the functional and vital prognosis in renal transplant patients. It is responsible for a problem of therapeutic management and of the benefit/risk ratio between antibiotic therapy at therapeutic doses and the contraindications linked to renal insufficiency and therapeutic impasse. This work reports the case of a kidney transplant recipient who died following complications of a superinfection of the graft by a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing OXA 48. The purpose of this observation is to underline the nosocomial risk in kidney transplant patients and the difficulty of the therapeutic management of these multi-resistant infections.
