NOTE. Between October I, 1980, and September 30, 1982, 213 renal transplants were performed at the University of Minnesota Hospital in patients> 12years of age. These patients were followed prospectively through December 31, 1982, for the development of pneumonia, which was diagnosed in 24 (8.8%) of the recipients. CMV was associated with a total of 18 episodes of pneumonia (in four of which other pathogens were also isolated); all 18patients had at least one positive culture for CMV (13 were viremic), and seroconversion was documented in 16cases (diagnostic methods are described elsewhere [1)). Analysis of recipient age, sex, presence of diabetes mellitus, and donor-recipient relationship revealed that none of these factors was associated with an increased risk of CMV-related pneumonia (P> 0.1; X2 test with Yates's correction used for all comparisons).* During the two-year study interval, 152 recipients entered a randomized trial of cyclosporine plus low-dosage prednisone vs standard immunosuppressive therapy (antilymphocyte globulin, azothioprine, and prednisone)[2]. Seventy-six patients were allocated to each treatment group, and both groups were comparable as to age, sex, underlying disease, donor-recipient relationship, and CMV serologic status of donor and recipient. t Pretransplant donor/recipient serologic status was determined for 196 transplants; negative= CF antibody titer< 1: 4; positive= CF titer~ 1: 4.
