Incidence, Risk Factors, and Clinical Outcomes of Active Tuberculosis in Kidney Transplant Recipients From Romania: A Single‐Center Study

This study was the first to evaluate active TB in KTR from Romania and found a higher incidence of active TB than that in the general population and a late onset of infection. TB had a negative impact on both patient and graft survival. Screening for latent TB, judicious prophylaxis, rigorous monitoring after KT and tailoring of the immunosuppression could be effective strategies to reduce the burden of TB among KTR.

Abstract

This study was the first to evaluate active TB in KTR from Romania and found a higher incidence of active TB than that in the general population and a late onset of infection. TB had a negative impact on both patient and graft survival. Screening for latent TB, judicious prophylaxis, rigorous monitoring after KT and tailoring of the immunosuppression could be effective strategies to reduce the burden of TB among KTR.
