ER visit: Fever after transplant demands immediate clinical evaluation because you are on anti-rejection drugs that affect your ability to fight infection. Please go to the ER and call your doctor's office and speak to the transplant surgeon on call. Doctors need to find any possible source of infection and culture your sputum,blood, urine, and possibly biopsy your graft. Good luck.

Fever is not normal.: Best to see the transplant doctors as they are best in determining if this condition is related to a rejection phenomenon, and that is really the worst thing it could be, but treatable and should not be ignored. Call the team right away.
