Donor-derived TB after kidney transplantation: a case report

CONCLUSION: TB is an important differential diagnosis for infectious complications in patients after solid-organ transplantation, especially in endemic regions. Its initial clinical presentation can be unspecific and it should be suspected in the presence of fever or formation of fluid collections. The suspicion of TB is the key to early diagnosis and satisfactory outcomes in post-transplant TB.PMID:33836038 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2020-0117
