Abstract
Patients with End stage Renal disease are the candidates undergoing renal transplant. Organ transplantation requires use of immmunosuppresants, which exposes the patients to various opportunistic infections. In countries like India where the burden of TB is already high, patients with transplant are at a very high risk to catch these infections. Thus knowledge of TB and its incidence in renal transplant patients is very important in India.
Keywords: Renal Transplant, TB-Tuberculosis, End stage renal disease.
