Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tuberculosis is a significant opportunistic infection often found in transplant recipients. Although not common, tuberculosis has been known to develop in higher incidence among transplant recipients than in the general population. The diagnosis and treatment of the tuberculosis in transplant recipients are more complicated because of the side effects of antituberculous agents, their interaction with immunosuppressive drugs, and the higher incidence of atypical presentations with extrapulmonary disease. The patient in this report had no evidence of tuberculous infection anywhere through the body before the transplant. The course of disease was continuously devastating despite active antituberculosis therapy. Only after the transplant nephrectomy, patient’s general condition improved. The authors report a patient with tuberculous abscess, developed in a renal allograft after chronic rejection.
