Description
Mingda Zhong and co-authors report a 2026 review of past cases of fungal lung infection in kidney transplant patients at a hospital in China. The fungus thrives when immune defences are lowered by transplant drugs. They gathered records for eight patients treated over a ten year span.
All eight had fever, and chest scans showed varied spots and patches in the lungs. A gene based test found the fungus in most cases and did so in about five days, while lab culture found far fewer. All patients got strong antifungal care, first by drip and then by mouth, with transplant drugs adjusted. Every patient recovered and the new kidney kept working.
