Pandemic influenza AH1N1 and organ donation
One of the concerns regarding the pandemic of novel influenza AH1N1 virus is its potential to hamper transplant programs if the decision is made that organs from donors with influenza AH1N1 should not be used. Evidence of transmissibility through organ transplantation is speculative at best. We repo...

We report the outcome of 2 kidney transplant recipients who received kidneys from the same deceased donor, in whom the diagnosis of infection by the novel virus became available only after engraftment.
