Abstract

Renal transplant recipients (RTRs) are highly susceptible to infections, and antimicrobial resistance is an increasing problem with limited treatment options. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is effective for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection and may be used for patients with intestinal carriage of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms. We present a RTR who suffered from recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing (ESBL+) Klebsiella pneumoniae. Blood and urinary isolates revealed the same antibiotic susceptibility pattern, and whole-genome sequencing confirmed identical isolates in blood and urine. Despite several treatments with meropenem, the patient experienced recurrent infections that caused hospitalisation. ESBL+ K. pneumoniae was isolated in faeces. In an attempt to decolonise the gut, FMT was performed. A few days after nasojejunal infusion of donor faeces, the patient experienced a single relapse of UTI. During the subsequent 12 months, no further episodes of UTI occurred. Absence of ESBL+ K. pneumoniae in urine and faeces was demonstrated during follow-up. We conclude that FMT may be an effective treatment in RTRs with recurrent UTIs caused by intestinal colonisation with MDR organisms.

Abstract

In this case report, a 41-year-old nullipara obtained pregnancy one and a half year after a simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SKP). After SKP, the woman had no need for insulin and no hypertension. Her kidney function was stable during pregnancy and no insulin was needed. During the last weeks of pregnancy, increased blood pressure was seen. Biochemically, there were no signs of preeclampsia and no proteinuria. An elective cesarean section was performed in gestational week 37+5 and a healthy boy, 2,710 g. (-1.2 standarddeviation) was born. Pregnancy after SKP is possible and can have a good prognosis.

Abstract

Eskimos of the east coast of Greenland very rarely had contacts with Caucasians until late in the 19th century. Their genes are therefore likely to be similar to those in the original Eskimo gene pool. We have compared serum concentrations of Lp(a) and apo(a) phenotypes in 78 East Greenland Eskimos (EGE) with those in Eskimos from Western Greenland (WGE) (n=100) and Caucasian Danes (n=466). Lp(a) levels were higher in EGE (median: 11.9 mg/dl [95% CI: 9.1–16.4]) than in Danes (p
