In an intestinal transplant patient under triple immunosuppression therapy with tacrolimus levels >10 ng/L, a 2-day oral immunoglobulin therapy given as treatment for chronic norovirus infection was temporally closely associated with the development of severe steroid-resistant acute graft rejection, thus suggesting that oral immunoglobulin might be able to promote a rejection response.
