Cyclosporine induced neurotoxicity in a stem cell transplant recipient.
Neurological complications are quite frequent in stem cell transplant (SCT) recipients. Major causes are conditioning regimen toxicity, metabolic and electrolyte disturbances, viral infections and cyclosporine related toxicity. Cyclosporine induced neurotoxicity is a well documented complication in stem cell transplant recipients. These patients usually present with seizures which are easily co...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis may present as unusual manifestations in renal transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This misleading presentation, may delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover special caution must be taken in renal transplant recipients because of possible interactions between antimony compounds and cyclosporine metabolites.

متن کاملColchicine-induced myoneuropathy in a cyclosporine-treated renal transplant recipient
Colchicine is a relatively safe medication that is widely used for both prevention and treatment of gout attack. However, serious adverse events, including myoneuropathy and multiorgan failure, have been reported. We report a case of colchicine-induced myoneuropathy in a female kidney transplant recipient who had been taking cyclosporine. She developed gastrointestinal discomfort and paresthesi...
متن کاملCyclosporine-A induced neurotoxicity after renal transplantation.
Cyclosporine-A is a highly potent immunosuppressive agent for solid organ transplantation, but has many side effects including nephrotoxicity, hypertension, gum hyperplasia, hepatotoxicity, and neurotoxicity. Neurotoxicity is a less known toxic effect. The pathogenesis of this effect is unclear. However, it has been postulated that hypomagnesemia, hypocholesterolemia, corticosteroids, and/or ne...
متن کاملOpportunistic infections in a renal transplant recipient
With the present progress in transplantation procedures, there is an improvement in patient and allograft survival. However, the immunosuppression necessary to sustain the allograft predisposes these transplant recipients to infection, which is now a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. We describe a case of a 30-year-old renal transplant recipient with two opportunistic infections, na...
