Transpl Infect Dis. 2005 Mar;7(1):45-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-3062.2005.00083.x.

Abstract

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is an increasing problem worldwide, however only three cases have been previously described in transplant recipients, especially involving lung and heart transplant. We describe a case of multidrug-resistant TB in an allogenic bone marrow transplant recipient with good response to second-line therapy.
