TI  - An Atypical Presentation of Tuberculosis in a Kidney  Transplant Recipient with Tenosynovitis Attack
AB  - The frequency of tuberculosis in organ transplant recipients has not been clearly determined and varies according to  geographical distribution. However, the incidence has been considerably higher in organ transplant recipients than in  the healthy population. Tuberculosis may have an atypical presentation in immunocompromised hosts, which can delay  the diagnosis. Also, tuberculosis leads to alteration in immunosuppressive treatments, such as drug interaction or dis continuation. In this case, we present a kidney transplant recipient with joint pain in the right hand and wrist. Her pain  was refractory to analgesics and steroid therapy. Tenosynovitis was detected by radiological examination. Subsequently,  miliary tuberculosis diagnosis was established through the onset of respiratory symptoms during hospitalization. The diag nosis was based on thoracic tomographic findings and molecular tests. The arthralgias resolved after the administration of  tuberculosis therapy.
