    In "Infection around Joint Replacements in Patients Who Have a Renal or Liver Transplantation" (79-A: 36—43, Jan. 1997), Tannenbaum et al. reported, as part of a study predominantly of patients who had had a renal transplantation, the results of joint replacement (two hip and one knee) in three patients who had had a liver transplantation. All three patients who had had a liver transplantation were managed with standard immunosuppression with cyclosporine A and prednisone, with or without azathioprine. A deep infection developed in two of these three patients.
