Abstract
This study was to discuss the clinical diagnosis and treatment features of severe pulmonary infections after renal transplantation, in order to improve the cure rate. Retrospective research was applied to analyze the 52 cases of patients with serve pulmonary infection after renal transplantation in the department of organ transplantation in People’s Hospital of Zhengzhou from July, 2008 to December, 2013.
