RESUMO

Limited information exists about epidemiology and risk factors of infection following pancreas-kidney transplantation and its impact on long-term pancreatic graft function. A retrospective chart review of episodes of severe infection in consecutive pancreas-kidney transplantations in a single institution was performed to assess the epidemiology, risk factors for infection and their impact on the development of pancreatic graft dysfunction. Ninety-four (81%) of 116 recipients (median follow-up of 1492 days; mean 1594) developed 248 episodes of severe infection. Bacterial infections were present in 208 episodes, with 12% of the isolates resistant to antibiotics used in prophylaxis. There were 40 episodes of fungal infection in 32 patients (28%) (mostly Candida spp), and CMV disease appeared in 20 patients (17%), of which 50% appeared after the third month following surgery. The multivariate analysis identified that surgical re-intervention and the use of steroid pulses were independently associated with the development of any infection. Additionally, pre-transplant evidence of peripheral artery disease, a longer cold ischaemia time and high transfusional requirements were associated with fungal infections. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) mismatch was independently related to CMV disease and female sex, and bladder drainage of the exocrine pancreas was associated with urinary tract infection. At the end of follow-up, 29 patients (25%) had developed severe pancreatic graft dysfunction, and fungal infection was independently associated with it. Our study identifies a subset of pancreas-kidney transplant recipients at a higher risk of developing severe infection. Fungal infection is an independent risk factor for the development of severe pancreatic graft dysfunction.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The strength of the assumed association of CMV and long term deleterious events in solid organ transplant recipients (SOT) is controversial. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether viral replication dynamics during CMV infection or CMV disease may correlate not only with graft dysfunction and survival, but also with other potentially related late events in a long-term followed cohort of kidney (KT) and liver (LT) transplant recipients. STUDY DESIGN: 162 SOT (104 kidney, 58 liver) at our institution (2003-2005) with survival over 180 days and a median follow-up of 71 months (9-86) were analyzed. Using a Cox proportional hazard model, CMV infection (including area under the curve of DNAemia[AUC]) and CMV disease in the first 180 days were evaluated as potential predictors of the following late events (>180 days): mortality, graft dysfunction (GD), graft loss (GL), cardiovascular events (CVE), malignant tumors (MT). RESULTS: CMV infection occurred in 59% and CMV disease in 8%. Late death occurred in 17%, GD in 45.6%, GL in 14.2%, CVE in 10.5% and MT in 9.9%. We found no significant association between the intensity or duration of CMV viremia (AUC, persistent viremia or untreated CMV viremia) or CMV disease and the development of evaluated late events. According multivariate analysis neither CMV infection (hazard ratio [HR] 2.18 95% CI 0.949-5 p = 0.066) nor CMV disease (HR: 1.72; 95% CI 0.59-5 p = 0.31) were significantly correlated with late mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Our data do not support that CMV infection or CMV disease contribute significantly to long-term deleterious events in SOT.

RESUMO

Monocyte function was studied in 20 hospitalized elderly and 23 young adult subjects. 99mTc-monocyte chemotaxis, glass adhesion, S. aureus 14C-alanine phagocytosis and 51Cr-erythrocyte cytotoxicity (Natural Killer) (NK) and Antibody-mediated (ADCC) activities were studied. Monocyte function, as determined by the above test, was not significantly depressed in the elderly when compared with the young adult control group. Our results suggest that the immunologic abnormalities and the increased risk of infections observed with aging cannot be attributed to a deficit in monocyte function.
