Neutropenic Enterocolitis in a Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipient on Multiple Immunosuppressants by Emily E. Miller, Leigh Christopher Reardon

“…Although NE does not typically affect solid organ transplant patients, this patient had a variety of risk factors that may have predisposed her to development of NE such as severe neutropenia, supratherapeutic tacrolimus level, immunosuppression with cytotoxic agents, and elevated Epstein-Barr viral load. Fortunately, this patient improved with bowel rest, fluids, antibiotics, and alteration of her immunosuppressive regimen. …”
