Abstract

Serum lactate dehydrogenase and uric acid levels were elevated at 1346 IU/L and 11.2 mg/dL, respectively; direct and indirect Coomb’s test were negative; tacrolimus level was 4.2; and urine examination revealed proteinuria (1+) and red blood cells of 2–3/high-power field. Studies of viral attachment to cultured gastrointestinal epithelial cells (Caco-2) using recombinant virus-like particles indicate that specific histo–blood group antigens play a key role in the attachment of the virus to the host cells. [...]blood levels of tacrolimus were quite low at the time of presentation.
