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.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
