Abstract
This review describes the epidemiology and risk factors of tuberculosis (TB) in solid organ transplant recipients. We discuss the pre-transplant screening for risk of TB and management of latent TB in this population. We also discuss the challenges of management of TB and other difficult to treat mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium avium complex. The drugs for the management of these infections include rifamycins which have significant drug interactions with immunosuppressants and must be monitored closely.
