Abstract
During an 11-year period, 1,069 patients received renal allografts at the University of Minnesota Hospital, Minneapolis, and infections developed in seven (0.65%) due to mycobacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M kansasii). The primary infection was in joint or subcutaneous tissue in six patients and pulmonary (miliary) in one. Infections in joint or skin shared common features regardless of the species of Mycobacterium and usually mimicked acute pyogenic bacterial infection; all responded to antimycobacterial drugs. The clinical manifestations in our patient in miliary tuberculosis were compared with those of 19 other patients described in the literature. Although their systemic manifestations were more severe, the symptoms were often ill-defined and the diagnosis overlooked. Five of these 20 patients (25%) died of uncontrolled infection.

Abstract
Adult kidneys were transplanted into 12 children weighing between 5,400 and 8,800 gm. Ten received parental and two received cadaver grafts. Ten of the 12 children are alive 18 months to 9 years post transplant; eight have their original grafts and two required retransplantation-their original grafts were lost at 4 and 9 years because of chronic rejection. All but these two surviving children had normal or accelerated growth rates despite growth retardation prior to transplant. All children evidenced moderate to severe delay in psychomotor development prior to transplant. Seven of the ten survivors now have normal psychomotor function. Two are behind in school, and one with a degenerative central nervous system disease prior to transplant remains profoundly retarded. We conclude that because of donor availability, capacity for good donor-recipient matching, and minimization of time on dialysis, transplantation of adult kidneys into pediatric patients is preferable to awaiting the relatively uncommon pediatric cadaver donor. We further conclude that the procedure is warranted.

Abstract
Mucormycosis of the palate developed in a 31-year-old man while he was undergoing immunosuppression with prednisone and azathioprine after renal transplantation. The infection was excised and did not recur. Ten years later, while still receiving immunosuppressive therapy, cutaneous histoplasmosis of the fingers developed, which was treated successfully with intravenous amphotericin B. The occurrence of mucormycosis and histoplasmosis in this man emphasizes the need to suspect uncommon infections when unusual skin lesions occur in an immunosuppressed patient.

Abstract
Between September 23, 1968 and March 22, 1980, primary renal allografts were performed in 373 uremic patients with insulin-dependent diabetes. After transplantation 65 of the diabetic patients (17%) underwent 151 amputations involving at least a digit or a limb. The lower extremity was involved in 72% of the amputations. Twenty-four patients had only one procedure, while 41 required multiple procedures. Mean interval from transplantation to first amputation was 25.2 +/- 2.4 (SE) months. Patient and graft loss (perioperative risk) in the first 3 months after amputation was 13%. Diabetic renal allograft recipients living long enough to require amputation have more severe manifestations of vascular disease. These amputees display both an 11% lower patient and graft survival after the first year following transplantation, as well as an accelerated rate of graft loss following amputation. Those diabetics requiring an amputation do significantly more poorly than nonamputees of the corresponding demographic category if diabetes onset occurred at age 10 to 20 years, diabetes duration prior to transplant was less than 20 years, age at transplant was less than 30 years, dialysis duration was less than 4 months, and donor type was HLA-nonidentical related. Nevertheless, more than 50% of the diabetics undergoing amputation will be alive with functioning allografts 4 years after amputation. On the other hand, diabetics not requiring amputation do particularly well if they survive 1 year, with more than 80% chance that they will be alive with a functioning graft 4 years after transplantation.

Abstract
Six renal transplant recipients with abnormal lymphoproliferative disorders were studied in an attempt to define their clinical features and the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in their pathogenesis. Patients were either teenage (three) or in the sixth decade (three). The younger patients presented an average of 3 months after transplantation with fever, sore throat, and lymphadenopathy; had been markedly immunosuppressed; frequently had preceding or concomitant cytomegalovirus infections; and two of three had a rapidly fatal course. The older patients presented an average of 5 years after transplantation while on maintenance immunosuppressive drugs; in two of three cases with an oropharyngeal tumor; and had a more indolent, but frequently fatal, clinical course. The most frequent sites of biopsy-proven involvement in these patients were lymph nodes (three), the oropharynx (three), liver (three), bone marrow (three), transplanted kidney (three), colon (two), and central nervous system (two). EBV-specific antibody titers including anti-viral capsid antigen IgG, anti-viral capsid antigen IgM, anti-early antigen, and anti-Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen were serially measured in all patients. Four patients demonstrated serological evidence of a primary (one) or reactivation (three) EBV infection. No patient had significant changes in anti-early antigen or anti-Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen titers. All three patients tested for oropharyngeal shedding of EBV were positive. A touch imprint of one tumor was stained for the presence of Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen, and a majority of cells were positive. EBV complementary RNA/DNA filter hybridization and/or viral DNA/DNA reassociation analysis performed on tumor biopsy specimens in five patients demonstrated multiple EBV genome equivalents per cell in all eight specimens tested. Clinical, pathological, serological, and molecular hybridization studies provide substantial evidence that EBV was the cause of these lymphoproliferative disorders occurring after renal transplantation. Impaired host defenses allow the EBV-transformed B-lymphocytes to escape normal control mechanisms. This impairment is invariable and influenced by many factors resulting in the observed spectrum of disease. Cytogenetic changes, however, may also be important.

Abstract
A new modification of pancreas transplant technique, the vascularized segmental intraperitoneal graft without duct ligation, has provided reversal of insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes mellitus for as long as 2 years of comfortable life. Although the risks associated with immunosuppression remain high (two of the 12 patients have died of early postoperative infection), selected data are presented from six cases to show the following striking hormonal and metabolic results after transplantation and withdrawal of insulin: restoration of normal beta cell function as shown by 24-hour urine C-peptide excretion and acutely responsive serum insulin, restoration of normal suppressibility of plasma glucagon, elimination of ketosis and negative nitrogen balance, normal fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin, and normal or near-normal glucose tolerance. These results provide a standard for current explorations of new ways of treating insulin-dependent diabetes.

Abstract
Twelve renal transplant patients with lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) were studied. Two clinical patterns were identified: (1) Young patients present with an infectious mononucleosis-like illness with fever, sore throat, and lymphadenopathy soon after transplantation or antirejection therapy. Many organs are ultimately involved, and the clinical course is one of a rapidly fatal LPD. (2) Older patients present a longer time after transplantation with symptoms of solid tumors involving the central nervous system, oropharynx, liver, or small bowel. The clinical course is slower, but it is progressive and fatal. Morphologically these LPDs can all be classified as polymorphic diffuse B-cell hyperplasia (PDBH) or polymorphic diffuse B-cell lymphoma (PBL). Cell marker studies in four patients demonstrated a polyclonal B-cell proliferation. Transition from a polyclonal B-cell proliferation to a monoclonal tumor may occur. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) specific antibody titers, anticomplement immunofluorescence staining of tumors for the presence of the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA), and EBV complementary ribonucleic acid (cRNA)/deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hybridization and vDNA/DNA reassociation analysis implicate EBV as the probable etiologic agent in these disorders. Successful management of these lethal LPDs may depend on discontinuation of immunosuppression and removal of the allograft. Antiviral therapy, however, may prove to be useful.

Abstract
Between July 25, 1978, and January 25, 1981, 20 segmental pancreas transplants from 14 cadaver (cad) and six related (rel) donors were performed. All but two recipients had previously received renal allografts for treatment of end-sage diabetic nephropathy. The grafts were placed intraperitoneally-13 with open ducts, 4 with prolamine-injected ducts, and 3 with silicone rubber-injected ducts. At this writing six patients have functioning grafts (3 silicone, 3 open duct) at less than 1 (cad), 2 (cad), 3 (rel), 15 (cad), 20 (rel), and 31 (cad) months. Five open-duct grafts failed for technical reasons. Two prolamine-injected grafts lost function between 1 and 3 months; biopsy specimens showed severe fibrosis. The others lost function between 2 and 4 months. Three patients died 1 to 3 months after transplantation. Metabolic test results were normal or nearly normal in most recipients with functioning grafts. Splenectomy was required in one related donor; there were no other complications of donation. Technical problems and rejection are impediments to application of pancreas transplantation, but a sustained correction of the metabolic defect has been achieved in a few patients, and the effect on secondary complications are studied.

Abstract
The quantitative effects of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on morbidity and mortality rates were examined in 320 renal transplant cases. With the use of virus cultures and CMV antibody measurements, all patients were studied, regardless of symptoms, from a time before transplantation to at least 1 year, 11 months after transplantation for a maximum of 5 years, 9 months. The posttransplant risk factors of CMV infection--patient age, type of donor (living-related or cadaver), antigen match between donor and recipient, presence of diabetes, and the presence of pretransplant CMV antibody--were evaluated for their relative effects on patient survival, graft survival, fever, and leukopenia. CMV infection was a significant risk factor for these four events. CMV infection occurred in 181 patients after transplantation and accounted for 25% of the deaths, 20% of the graft failures, 30% of the occurrences of fever, and 35% of the occurrences of leukopenia. Unexpectedly, female recipients were at higher risk than men for the adverse effects of CMV infection. Young patients and those receiving their second transplant were at higher risk of graft loss if they had associated CMV infection. CMV infection was most reliably predicted by the presence of pretransplant antibody, indicating that reactivation of endogenous virus was responsible for most infections. The presence of pretransplant antibody offered a small amount of protection against fever, but no protection against death, graft failure, or leukopenia. Simultaneous episodes of CMV infection and transplant rejection, both common posttransplant events, most often occurred by chance.
