Kidney Transplantation From a Brain-Dead Deceased Donor With Active Tuberculosis
Abstract
Tuberculosis is one of the most common infections on a global scale. While in the 21st century it is practically endemic in some parts of the world, it poses as a constant threat to immunocompromised transplant patients. Apart from standards ways of transmission, transplant patients face another cause of transmission, infected donors. We present a case depicting two kidney transplantations from the same brain-dead deceased donor with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
