Abstract :

Post transplant patients are more vulnerable to the opportunistic fungal infections secondary to the long -standing treatment on immunosuppressive therapy. A conscientious look in the post renal transplant patients in view of any opportunistic fungal infections is crucial. Aureobasidium pullulans is an agent responsible for various opportunistic fungal pathologies leading to nodules with secondary ulceration on skin and systemic infection leading to abcess formation in viscera.
