Abstract

We performed cadaveric renal transplantation on a 46-year-old man on long-term hemodialysis. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) enterocolitis occurred on the fifth postoperative day and severe intestinal ulceration and perforation followed. Subtotal abdominal colectomy and the simultaneous removal of the transplant were performed. Postoperatively, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy with pancytopenia and cerebral hemorrhagic infarction developed and the patient died 40 days later.
