Multiple intracranial tuberculomas in a post-kidney transplant patient.

We report a post-kidney transplant patient who had multiple ring-like lesions on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Based on the results of MRI and biopsy specimen, the patient was diagnosed with multiple intracranial tuberculomas. He was treated successfully with a standard quadruple therapy of rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and pyrazinamide. PMID: 26787580 [PubMed - in process]
