  • Title: Tuberculosis transmitted through transplantation.
    Author: Graham JC, Kearns AM, Magee JG, El-Sheikh MF, Hudson M, Manas D, Gould FK, Orr KE, Freeman R.
    Journal: J Infect; 2001 Nov; 43(4):251-4. PubMed ID: 11869064.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis in solid organ transplant recipients is associated with relatively high morbidity and mortality and is often extra-pulmonary. Reactivation of dormant infection is the usual mode of acquisition with donor and nosocomial transmission occurring infrequently. We report two cases of probable donor transmitted extra-pulmonary infection where both isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis proved to be indistinguishable using hemi-nested inverse PCR of the IS 6110 region.
