The occurrence of an outbreak of influenza in a renal transplant unit is described. Five patients had a proved episode of infection, confirmed by a rise in the complement fixation titre to influenza virus A, and this coincided in three of the patients with episodes of acute rejection. It seems likely that the virus infection was responsible for the rejection, possibly through a stimulating effect of the virus on the host's immune response.
本文描述了在一个肾移植病房爆发流感的情况。五名患者经证实发生了感染，通过甲型流感病毒补体结合试验效价升高得以确认，其中三名患者同时发生了急性排斥反应。病毒感染似乎是导致排斥反应的原因，可能是病毒对宿主免疫反应产生了刺激作用。
