DENV infection in KTR patients seems to follow a similar course as in the general population. Although there was no control group, we suspect that immunosuppression, preexisting kidney disease or type of donor was not a determining factor in most patients. Transient renal dysfunction was common but reversible. No patient experienced death or graft loss.
