Spinal tuberculosis in post-liver transplantation patients: case reports
We report 3 cases of spinal TB in Chinese recipients of orthotopic liver transplant whose first complaint was back pain. These 3 cases were diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and percutaneous biopsy. After treatment with isoniazid, rifampicin, streptomycin, and ethambutol for >1 year, symptoms of 2 patients improved noticeably, but 1 patient died of liver failure and severe mixed pulmonary infection. Diagnosis and treatment regimens of spinal TB are discussed. (Source: Transplant Infectious Disease)
