Abstract
A 17-year-old girl received lung transplantation after chronic respiratory failure. She developed a fever (> 38 °C) once or twice weekly starting 2 months after surgery, and multiple papulopustules on the skin waxed and waned for 4 months. She then developed blood-tinged sputum. She had been treated with triple immunosuppressants, including prednisolone, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil after lung transplantation, and her symptoms appeared during prednisolone dose reduction.
