    Abstract
  •   Objective  To analyze and summarize the clinical features and diagnosis and treatment experience of brucellosis after renal transplantation.  Methods  Clinical data of one case with brucellosis after renal transplantation admitted to the 309th Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army in October 2016 was collected. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical experience was summarized and literature review was conducted.  Results  At 3 months after renal transplantation, the patient suffered from temperature rise without known causes and presented with fever in the morning with a duration of 3 d. The route of infection was unknown, and the symptoms of alternative types of infection were not obvious. Empirical anti-infectious therapy was delivered for 1 week and yielded no efficacy. Blood culture test confirmed the diagnosis of brucella melitensis infection. The treatment included anti-infecting by the rifampicin, doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole, preventing the incidence of complications actively and protecting the liver and renal function. High clinical efficacy was achieved. During the 1-year follow up after discharge, the renal graft was stable and no other infectious symptoms, such as fever was found.  Conclusions  Brucellosis with unknown route of infection after renal transplantation is extremely rare and the common symptom is Malta fever. When the empirical anti-infectious treatment is not effective, blood culture and other related tests should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. The combination of rifampicin and doxycycline is recommended.
