    Abstract Syphilis is a known cause of membranous nephropathy. We describe a case of a patient presenting with nephrotic syndrome whose renal biopsy demonstrated a 'full house' immunohistochemical pattern with positive IgG, IgM, C1q, IgA, C3c, and C4d staining. He was treated with immunosuppressive agents for minimal change nephropathy and subsequently class V lupus nephritis, before syphilis infection was confirmed. Following treatment with a single dose of intramuscular benzathine penicillin there was complete and rapid resolution of nephrotic syndrome. With progressive rising incidence in the western world, syphilis is an important and under-recognised differential diagnosis in cases of nephrotic syndrome.

    Abstract Background: Excellent short-term results have been reported in ABO-incompatible (ABOi) renal transplant recipients managed solely with antibody removal and conventional immunosuppression. However, long-term clinical outcomes with this regimen and predictive information from protocol biopsies are lacking.
    Methods: We compared outcome data in ABOi and ABO-compatible (ABOc) recipients receiving this regimen approximately 4 years posttransplant, and histology from biopsies approximately 12 months posttransplant.
    Results: Patient and graft survivals among 54 ABOi recipients were 98.1% and 90.7%, respectively, at 4 years. Graft function was similar between ABOi (creatinine, 140.3 μmol/L) and ABOc recipients (creatinine, 140.2 μmol/L) (P = 0.99), with no significant change over the study period in either group (Δcreatinine, -0.83 vs 6.6 μmol/L) (P = 0.59). There was no transplant glomerulopathy in biopsies from either group. Interstitial fibrosis (IF) and tubular atrophy (TA) was present in 7 (28%) of 25 ABOi compared with 7 (20.6%) of 34 ABOc (P = 0.52). Progression of IF/TA from implantation was noted in 6 (24%) of 25 ABOi and 6 (17.6%) of 34 ABOc, respectively. C4d staining without antibody-mediated rejection was present in 13 (52%) 25 early posttransplant biopsies from ABOi recipients by immunohistochemistry, but in only 4 (16%) of 25 at 12 months.
    Conclusions: ABO-incompatible renal transplant performed with antibody removal and conventional immunosuppression continues to provide excellent patient and graft survival, and stable renal function over 4 years. Coupled with absent transplant glomerulopathy and low rates of progressive IF/TA on earlier biopsies, this suggests that ABOi with conventional immunosuppression and antibody removal, without rituximab or splenectomy, can achieve long-term outcomes comparable to ABO-compatible transplantation.

    Abstract Bulky mesenteric lymphadenopathy and B symptoms in a patient with a prior history of relapsed histologically aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma would usually be attributed to recurrent disease. In the case described here, recurrent lymphadenopathy was found to be due to probable Yersinia infection, highlighting the need for rebiopsy of tissue in these circumstances wherever possible.

    Abstract Background: Immunosuppressed organ-transplant recipients have an increased incidence of, and mortality from, skin cancer. Nicotinamide (vitamin B
    Methods: In this phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, organ-transplant recipients who had had at least two keratinocyte cancers in the past 5 years to receive 500 mg of nicotinamide or placebo twice daily for 12 months. Participants were examined for skin lesions by dermatologists at 3-month intervals for 12 months. The primary end point was the number of new keratinocyte cancers during the 12-month intervention period. Secondary end points included the numbers of squamous-cell and basal-cell carcinomas during the 12-month intervention period, the number of actinic keratoses until 6 months after randomization, safety, and quality of life.
    Results: A total of 158 participants were enrolled, with 79 assigned to the nicotinamide group and 79 to the placebo group. The trial was stopped early owing to poor recruitment. At 12 months, there were 207 new keratinocyte cancers in the nicotinamide group and 210 in the placebo group (rate ratio, 1.0; 95% confidence interval, 0.8 to 1.3; P = 0.96). No significant between-group differences in squamous-cell and basal-cell carcinoma counts, actinic keratosis counts, or quality-of-life scores were observed. Adverse events and changes in blood or urine laboratory variables were similar in the two groups.
    Conclusions: In this 12-month, placebo-controlled trial, oral nicotinamide therapy did not lead to lower numbers of keratinocyte cancers or actinic keratoses in immunosuppressed solid-organ transplant recipients.

    Abstract A middle-aged man received a kidney transplant from a deceased multi-organ donor. The recipient suffered cardiac arrest several days post-operatively and sustained hypoxic brain injury and was declared brain dead. Following the family's consent, the allograft kidney was retrieved and re-transplanted into a man with end-stage renal failure secondary to reflux nephropathy. The liver was not transplanted due to suspicion of fatty changes based on macroscopic appearance. After transplantation of other organs, liver histology revealed coagulative parenchymal necrosis with nuclear inclusions and moderate parenchymal cholestasis, suggestive of herpes viral hepatitis. Renal implantation biopsy showed histiocytes with enlarged nuclei containing viral inclusions in the capsular fibrous tissue, with positive immunostaining for herpes simplex virus (HSV). Anti-viral therapy was commenced immediately after obtaining histological evidence of donor HSV infection. Our recipient had pre-formed immunoglobulin G antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2, and was immunoglobulin M negative pre-transplant. HSV viraemia was detected day 5 post-transplant with a viral load of 7688 copies/mL by polymerase chain reaction assay. The recipient completed a 30 day course of intravenous ganciclovir before switching to oral valganciclovir as standard cytomegalovirus prophylaxis. The HSV polymerase chain reaction became undetectable on day 7 of intravenous ganciclovir and has remained undetectable. The patient remains well 9 months post-transplant with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 61 mL/min per 1.73 m(2). Although renal allograft re-use has been shown to be technically possible with a good outcome in this recipient, this does raise issues including assessment of allografts that have undergone repeated severe ischaemic insults and the potential of transmission of infections.
