Abstract:
Tuberculosis in kidney transplant(KT)recipients is a common opportunistic infection with higher incidence and prevalence than in the general population.Tuberculosis infection after kidney transplantation included latent tuberculosis infection,inactive tuberculosis infection and active tuberculosis infection.The follow-ing factors should be considered in the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection in KT recipients:atypical clinical presen-tation,association with co-infections,decreased predictive values of screening tests,diverse imaging findings and particular diagnostic methods.Regarding treatment challenges in KT recipients with tuberculosis,course of treat-ment,drug interaction,drug toxicity and therapeutically adherence should be considered.
