A renal transplant recipient developed evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and severe opportunistic infection 44 months after transplantation. A strikingly reduced dosage of pharmacologic immunosuppression was required to maintain renal graft function. This may be the result of impaired helper T-cell function associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
