Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in Solid‐Organ Transplant Recipients: Impact and Implications for Management
Abstract
Tuberculosis is a serious opportunistic infection in transplant recipients. On the basis of the compilation of published reports in the literature, the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in organ transplant recipients worldwide ranged from 0.35% to 15%. Nonrenal transplantation (P = .004), rejection within 6 months before the onset of tuberculosis (P = .02) and type of primary immunosuppressive regimen (P = .007) were predictors of M. tuberculosis infection occurring within 12 months after transplantation. Thirty-three percent (155) of 476 transplant patients with tuberculosis had disseminated infection; receipt of OKT3 or anti-T cell antibodies (P = .005) was a significant predictor of disseminated tuberculosis. Overall, the mortality rate among 499 patients was 29%; disseminated infection (P = .0003), prior rejection (P = .006), and receipt of OKT3 or anti-T cell antibodies (P = .0013) were significant predictors of mortality in patients with tuberculosis. Clinically significant hepatotoxicity due to isoniazid occurred in 2.5%, 4.5%, and 41% of renal, heart and lung, and liver transplant recipients, respectively. The diagnosis and effective management of tuberculosis after transplantation warrant recognition of the unique epidemiological and clinical characteristics of tuberculosis in transplant recipients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
