Prolonged fever and anemia as the sole manifestations of a false aneurysm in a transplant patient.

A patient with a false aneurysm of the iliac artery following removal of a right allograft developed a prolonged fever and anemia of unknown origin. The patient's condition was initially misinterpreted largely because these symptoms were attributed to dialysis treatment. This case emphasizes fever and anemia as the sole manifestations of a false aneurysm appearing as a late complication of kidney transplantation.
