Disseminated varicella infection in adult renal allograft recipients: four cases and a review of the literature.

abstract：BACKGROUND:As opposed to most solid-organ transplant recipients, patients with acute liver failure exhibit a pretransplant health status more comparable with the general population, and any posttransplant cardiovascular risk excess should thus be more attributable to transplantation-related factors alone. METHODS:This...
