Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in a renal transplant patient: case report and review of the literature.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Sensitization to human leukocyte antigens (HLA) is a significant barrier to transplantation. Currently, no proven therapy exists to improve access to transplantation for highly sensitized patients. Here, we report a novel approach using intravenous immune globulin to modulate anti-HLA antibody and improve th...
