Özet
Renal transplant patients are more prone to tuberculosis infection due to the underlying intense immunosuppression, with an incidence 20-74 times higher than that in the general population. It is associated with graft dysfunction and increased mortality rates. It can be frequently pulmonary but extra-pulmonary involvement is not rare, and in the latter case, it may be misinterpreted as genital malignancies. In this case report, we discuss a renal transplant patient with pelvic pain and fever, who was later diagnosed as having abdominopelvic tuberculosis.
