Chronic Diarrhea Secondary to Human Sapovirus in a Renal Transplant Recipient

Andrew Dargan, Christina Tofan

Abstract

Diarrhea is common in renal transplant recipients. Although often a result of immunosuppressant medications, infection must be ruled out in patients who present with chronic diarrhea. This includes not only bacterial and parasitic infections, but also less common viral infections including sapovirus and norovirus.
