Transfusional support was initially required and the direct antiglobulin test (DAT) remained positive for 80 days. Cyclosporin A (CSA), which was used for rejection prophylaxis in this case, has unique immunosuppressive capabilities which protects transplanted organs from rejection, but which might permit this type of {\textquoteright}graft versus host{\textquoteright} reaction.}, keywords = {*Kidney Transplantation, ABO Blood-Group System / *immunology, Adult, Anemia, Hemolytic, Autoimmune / *etiology / immunology, Autoantibodies / analysis, Cyclosporins / adverse effects / immunology, Graft Survival / drug effects, Humans, Male}, issn = {0004-8291 (Print) 0004-8291 (Linking)}, author = {Perkins,A.
