| Core Tip |
The infectious risk associated with pulse steroid therapy in renal transplant recipients may depend on its timing after transplantation. In this study, patients receiving late pulse steroid therapy (after 90 days post-transplant) experienced significantly higher rates of overall infections, pneumonia, sepsis, and viral infections compared with those treated early. These findings suggest that late intensification of immunosuppression carries a greater infectious burden and highlight the need for enhanced surveillance and reconsideration of prophylactic strategies when pulse steroids are administered in the late post-transplant period. |
