Indian J Nephrol. 2010 Jan;20(1):40-2. doi: 10.4103/0971-4065.62097.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is a serious opportunistic infection in renal transplant recipients and is disseminated in nature in one-third of patients. Genito urinary tuberculosis is rare in renal transplant recipients. We report a patient presenting 5 years after renal transplantation with disseminated tuberculosis and allograft and prostatic involvement.

Keywords: Genitourinary tuberculosis; renal transplantation.
