Renal allograft recipients are at greater risk of developing tuberculosis than the general population. A woman with a kidney transplant was admitted to our emergency department with high temperature, dysphonia, odynophagia, and asthenia. The final diagnosis was laryngeal tuberculosis. Multidisciplinary collaboration enabled accurate diagnosis and successful treatment. Laryngeal tuberculosis should be considered in renal allograft recipients with hoarseness. A more rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis in renal transplant recipients is desirable when the site involved, such as the larynx, exhibits specific manifestations and the patient exhibits specific symptoms. In these cases, prognosis is excellent, and with adequate treatment a complete recovery is often achieved.
肾移植受者比一般人群更容易患结核病。一名女性肾移植患者因高热、声音嘶哑、咽痛和乏力而被收入我院急诊科。最终诊断为喉结核。多学科协作使诊断准确，治疗成功。对于出现声音嘶哑的肾移植受者，应考虑喉结核。当受累部位（如喉部）出现特定表现且患者出现特定症状时，理想情况下应更快地对肾移植受者的结核病进行诊断。在这些情况下，预后良好，通过充分治疗，通常可完全康复。
