  • Title: Aspergillus infection limited to the anastomosed artery following renal transplantation: a report of 4 cases.
    Author: Wang R, Wu J, Wang Y, Huang H, He Q, Chen J.
    Journal: Transpl Infect Dis; 2009 Aug; 11(4):363-6. PubMed ID: 19497076.
    Abstract:
    We present 4 cases of Aspergillus fumigatus infection limited to the anastomosed artery following renal transplantation. All grafts were nephrectomized. Two patients received 2 weeks of itraconazole therapy; both showing recurrence of pseudoaneurysms following discontinuation of therapy. Another 2 patients received 3 months of itraconazole therapy without recurrence of pseudoaneurysms. Surgical interventions were life saving. Resection of infected tissues and 3 months of antifungal therapy seemed to give better results than shorter antifungal strategies.
