Since vasculitis is accepted as a finding of acute rejection, we have diagnosed the biopsy as acute vascular rejection (grade llb, Banff 93). But drug induced acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) Which was one of the clinical prediagnosis couldn’t be excluded. Before the RAB, his trimethaprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) treatment was discontinued. Renal functions began to improve and finally reached baseline Without antirejection therapy after biopsy. Clinicopathological findings sugge st that renal pathology has developed as a drug reaction (TMP-SMZ) and the patient has been evaluated as AIN and vasculitis due to drug use. This is the first vasculitis due to drug use of renal transplant patient. After five years of follow-up renal allograft functions are normal and the patient is well.}, number={1}, publisher={Ege Üniversitesi}
