Cutaneous Coccidian Parasitic Infection in a Renal Transplant Recipient

One of the leading causes of mortality in solid organ transplant patients is infections, with the other two being cardiovascular disease and malignancy. Opportunistic infections are well known in solid organ transplant recipients. Coccidia is known to present with gastrointestinal manifestations; however, Coccidia presenting with cutaneous manifestations is not reported, to the best of our knowledge. We report the case of a renal transplant recipient who presented with subcutaneous nodules due to a coccidian parasite.
