Currently she is on Tacrolimus-based triple immunosuppression. Her kidney function has improved and started to pass more urine. She presented with 2 weeks history of non-productive cough, low grade temperature (37.5 °C). She has dyspnoea on excretion (respiratory rate at rest is 20/min) but chest X-Ray reported normal.
