Tóm tắt

Abstract: Multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (TB) is an increasing problem worldwide, however only three cases have been previously described in transplant recipients, especially involving lung and heart transplant. We describe a case of multidrug‐resistant TB in an allogenic bone marrow transplant recipient with good response to second‐line therapy.
