Abstract:
Cyclosporine has proved to be of benefit for heart transplantation. Complications of therapy, however, occasionally require discontinuation of the cyclosporine and replacement with azathioprine. We report two cases in which changing from cyclosporine to azathioprine was followed by fatal rejection episodes.
