While appendicitis remains one of the commonest surgical diseases, there are relatively few reports following renal transplantation. A 33-year-old man was admitted with diarrhea, fever, and epigastric pain 7 years following a cadaveric renal transplant. CT scanning confirmed a diagnosis of appendicitis which was removed within 24 hours of admission. Histology and blood cultures following surgery confirmed Salmonella type b appendicitis. Patient was safely discharged home 5 days following hospital admission.
虽然阑尾炎仍然是最常见的外科疾病之一，但肾移植后发生阑尾炎的报告相对较少。一名33岁男性在尸体肾移植7年后因腹泻、发热和上腹部疼痛入院。CT扫描确诊为阑尾炎，并在入院后24小时内进行了阑尾切除。术后组织学检查和血培养确诊为乙型沙门氏菌性阑尾炎。患者入院5天后安全出院。
