Abstract

We present four cases of subcutaneous invasive mycosis in renal transplant recipients that happened in our Unit during a period of eight months. The Microbiology Department did not find any fungi when they studied possible reservoirs and vectors for transmission. We speculate about the reasons of this chronological aggregation. We discuss the treatment that we used for these infections.
