BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients presents challenges that may lead to treatment delay. These include atypical clinical presentations, increased likelihood of negative tuberculin skin test or/and interferon-gamma release assays, and negative sputum smear results despite active disease. The treatment poses challenges due to pharmacokinetic interactions, allograft-related toxicity, and inadequate immune response. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 70-year-old man after kidney transplantation in 2012...

The most common complications after the renal transplant are infections and malignancies, including posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders. Tubercular infection in renal allograft recipients is a relatively rare entity. However, nonspecific constitutional symptoms often delay diagnosis, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. We present the 18F-FDG PET/CT findings in a patient with renal allograft tuberculosis who had clinical and imaging suspicion of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder or renal cell carcinoma...

Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is often associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Recently, this microorganism has been increasingly identified in HIV-negative patients. CM cases are encountered in HIV-negative individuals, especially secondary to liver disease, solid organ transplantation (SOT), tuberculosis, lymphoproliferative diseases with T-cell-mediated immunological disorders, long-term corticosteroid use, malignancies, diabetes mellitus, and sarcoidosis. Our patient is an HIV-negative, SOT case with CM...

Multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR TB) is a global concern, with 450,000 new cases and 191,000 deaths in 2021. TB and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been associated since 1974, with suggested explanations such as oxidative stress, malnutrition, dysfunction in vitamin D metabolism, and a compromised cell-mediated immune response. End-stage renal failure patients are more likely to acquire drug resistance due to poor adherence, adverse drug reactions, and inappropriate dose adjustment...

BACKGROUND: Intussusception is a frequent abdominal emergency in the pediatric population when the proximal bowel invaginates into the distal bowel. However, catheter-induced intussusception has not previously been described in pediatric renal transplant recipients, and the risk factors need to be investigated. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report 2 cases of post-transplant intussusception which were caused by abdominal catheters. Case 1 experienced ileocolonic intussusception 3 months after renal transplantation and presented with intermittent abdominal pain; the intussusception was successfully managed using air enema...

Chronic diarrhea is a common reason for consultation in renal transplant patients. Cytomegalovirus infection is the cause of chronic diarrhea of infectious origin in 50% of cases, but coinfection with tuberculosis is rare. We present the case of a renal transplant patient with chronic diarrhea, with a finding of left colon colitis and positive microbiological studies in biopsy for tuberculosis and cytomegalovirus . The patient received valganciclovir and anti-tubercular treatment with adequate evolution. Immunosuppressed patients may have diarrhea secondary to opportunistic infections; therefore, an algorithm for early diagnosis and treatment is recommended...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in large-scale devastation. Reports of COVID-19 in patients with compromised immunity are available in the literature. The compromised immunity could be due to multiple factors like drug induced as in organ transplant patients, diabetes, HIV, etc. Post-transplant patients with compromised immunity due to immune suppression are vulnerable to many infections (tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, etc.). Herein a case of an Indian male with a kidney transplant is presented who had concurrent infections of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis , hepatitis C virus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2)...
