Tuberculosis is a serious opportunistic infection in renal transplant recipients. Post-transplantation tuberculosis most commonly occurs within the first few years of receipt of a renal allograft, but Ram et al. present the case of a 27-year-old male who presented with isolated skin ulcers caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis 12 years after kidney transplantation. They review the literature on post-transplantation tuberculosis and discuss treatment options.
Acute renal infarction (ARI) is a rare disease that is often misdiagnosed initially because of its nonspecific presentation. In this Case Study, Nasser and colleagues describe a patient with ARI due to a thromboembolism from a cardiac thrombus. They discuss the common presenting symptoms of ARI and comment on the various treatment options that are available.
