Abstract:
The incidence of tuberculosis among patients undergoing antirejection therapy is considerably higher than in the general population. Heart transplant recipients have been found to carry the highest risk of tuberculosis. There are no reported data about Pott's disease in heart transplant recipients. The authors present a case of Pott's disease seen after heart transplantation (HTx).
