Abstract:
We report the case of a patient who developed herpes simplex oesophagitis less than one month after renal transplantation. Graft rejection treatment may have induced this infection. Diagnosis was suspected at endoscopy and was confirmed by biopsy. The patient was cured by intravenous acyclovir and temporary discontinuation of immunosuppressive medication.
