Tuberculosis (TB) is an infrequent infection after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), with associated mortality up to 30%. The utility of universal screening for latent TB in HCT candidates is controversial due to the lack of sensitive screening tests. We describe a case of disseminated TB infection complicated by immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in an adult double unit umbilical cord blood transplant recipient who originated from the United Arab Emirates.
结核病(TB)是造血细胞移植(HCT)后较少见的感染,相关死亡率高达30%。由于缺乏敏感的筛查试验,对HCT候选者进行潜伏性结核普遍筛查的效用存在争议。我们描述了一例来自阿拉伯联合酋长国的成年双单位脐带血移植受者发生播散性结核感染并并发免疫重建炎症综合征的病例。
