Title
Tuberculosis treatment without rifampin in kidney/kidney–pancreas transplantation: A case series report
Abstract
Background: The best approach to tuberculosis (TB) treatment in transplanted patients is still unknown. Current guidelines are based on evidence either extrapolated from other populations or observational. Rifampin-containing regimens have strong pharmacokinetic interactions with immunosuppressive regimens, with high rates of organ dysfunction and ∼20% mortality. This report describes the results obtained using non-rifampin-containing regimens to treat confirmed TB in adult patients with kidney/kidney–pancreas transplantation.
