Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for high morbidity and mortality in immune-compromised hosts.
We present a rare case of cutaneous tuberculosis after orthotopic liver transplantation without involvement of any other organs.
TB risk-factors assessment, careful LTBI screening and treatment according to national guidelines, as well as a reduction in missed opportunity for prevention are necessary to avoid MTB related disease in fragile patients.
分枝杆菌属结核分枝杆菌是导致免疫功能低下宿主发病率和死亡率高的原因。
我们报告了一例肝移植后皮肤结核的罕见病例,无其他器官受累。
评估结核病风险因素,根据国家指南进行仔细的 LTBI 筛查和治疗,以及减少预防机会的错失,对于避免脆弱患者发生 MTB 相关疾病是必要的。
