Abstract
Dengue fever is a common cause of fever in tropics. The occurrence of dengue fever in the peri transplant period raises the suspicion of the possible transmission through the graft due to short incubation period of the dengue fever. However the non vectorial transmission of dengue through the organ transplantation is rarely reported and there is no such case report from India in best of our knowledge. Hence, we report of case of concomitant dengue fever in both donor and the recipient of renal transplant during the peri transplant period associated with transmission through the graft. Both donor and the recipient recovered completely during the recovery phase and the it was not associated with any complication of the dengue fever during the hospital stay. Dengue virus, non vectorial transmission, renal transplantation, peri transplantation period.
