While appendicitis remains one of the commonest surgical diseases, there are relatively few reports following renal transplantation.

A 33-year-old man was admitted with diarrhea, fever, and epigastric pain 7 years following a cadaveric renal transplant.

CT scanning confirmed a diagnosis of appendicitis which was removed within 24 hours of admission.

Histology and blood cultures following surgery confirmed Salmonella type b appendicitis.

Patient was safely discharged home 5 days following hospital admission.
