Multiple Cladosporium brain abscesses in a renal transplant patient: aggressive management improves outcome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The aging of liver transplant (LT) recipients, the weighting of the model for end-stage liver disease score, and the increased prevalence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis has led to an increased number of older LT recipients with pre-LT chronic kidney disease (CKD). There are limited data on the impact of inc...
