Abstract:
Recipients of solid-organ transplants are, due to immunosuppressive treatment, disposed to opportunistic infections including tuberculosis. We report a rare case of acute intramedullary tuberculous abscess in a Danish male recipient of a liver transplant. The problems in diagnostics, medical and surgical treatment are discussed.
