Hemorrhagic Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Nephritis: An Unusual Cause of Acute Allograft Dysfunction.
Abstract
Interstitial nephritis due to viruses is well-described after solid organ transplantation.
Viruses implicated include cytomegalovirus; BK polyomavirus; Epstein-Barr virus; and,
less commonly, adenovirus. We describe a rare case of hemorrhagic allograft nephritis
due to herpes simplex virus type 1 at 10 days after living donor kidney transplantation.
The patient had a favorable outcome with intravenous acyclovir and reduction of immunosuppression.

diagnosis, particularly in the immunocompromised host. Most of my research efforts
are of an applied nature which involves adapting new methods of rapid viral diagnosis
and testing those newer approaches against standard virological procedures. Validated
new tests are incorporated into the standard work-up of appropriate virological specimens.
Ultimately the expanded offerings result in a
David Noble Howell
Professor of Pathology
A major focus of both my clinical practice and investigative work is the diagnosis
and treatment of disorders affecting solid-organ transplant recipients, particularly
infectious complications. For the past 15 years, I have served as the primary pathologist
for one of the largest lung transplant programs in the world; in the process contributing
to over 20 peer-reviewed publications on complications of lung transplantation, including
infections, gastroesophageal reflux, tumors, and antibod
Sara Elizabeth Miller
Professor in Pathology
Our laboratory specializes in two areas, infectious diseases, particularly viral diseases,
and ultrastructure-function relationships. Electron microscopy (EM) is the focus
of the investigative techniques and includes preparative methods such as negative
staining, thin sectioning, ultracryomicrotomy and immunolabeling of acrylic and frozen
sections. We are especially interested in methods for diagnosing viral illnesses
by EM, and are involved in developin
