Genitourinary Tuberculosis After Renal Transplantation—A Report of Three Cases with a Good Clinical Outcome

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major opportunistic infection after renal transplantation especially in the tropical countries. The risk of TB in renal transplant recipients is reported to be 20-74 times higher than that in the general population. Genitourinary TB that occurs after renal transplantation in uncommon and appears to present differently than genitourinary TB in the non-transplant population. An increased risk of graft rejection and graft loss has been reported. We report three cases of genitourinary TB in renal transplant recipients, all of whom had a good clinical outcome and a review of published literature.
