【 摘 要 】

Abstract We report a case of lophomoniasis in a kidney post‐transplantation patient. The patient, 46‐year‐old man, had pneumonia, acute sinusitis, and tonsillitis on admission. We recommend that lophomoniasis should be essentially ruled out in all patients suffering from post‐transplantation infection, particularly in those who do not respond to routine antibiotic regimens.
