Setting. Tuberculosis clinical presentation is not typical in kidney transplant recipients and the diagnosis of active disease is usually delayed. Objective. To characterize tuberculosis presentation in Brazilian's kidney transplant recipients. Study Design. We analyzed the clinical records of tuberculosis cases regarding sociodemographic data and health history. Results. Thirteen TB cases were identified among 843 transplant recipients. The average time for TB development after transplantation was 4 years. Eight subjects presented pulmonary disease, seven patients required hospitalization Alertness to the possibility of TB and the careful evaluation for possible TB of all kidney transplant recipients with unexplained is vital, as is the related work of transplant and TB control teams and four died as a consequence of TB. Conclusion. The severe consequences of TB in posttransplantation can become critical.

Introduction: The clinical presentation and outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have not been well studied. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis to examine the presenting features, outcomes and the effect of treatment on outcomes of KTRs with COVID-19. Database search was performed up to 5 September 2020 through PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and CENTRAL. Results: Overall, 23 studies (1373 patients) were included in the review and meta-analysis. The most common presenting symptoms included fever (74.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 65.3–81.1), cough (63.3% 95% CI 56.5–69.6) and dyspnoea (47.5%, 95% CI 39.6–55.6). Pooled rates of mortality and critical illness were 21.1% (95% CI 15.3-28.4) and 27.7% (95% CI 21.5–34.8) respectively. Acute kidney injury occurred in 38.9% (95% CI 30.6–48.1) and dialysis was required in 12.4% (95% CI 8.3–18.0) of the cases. Discussion: KTRs with COVID-19 have a similar clinical presentation as the general population but have higher morbidity and mortality. It is uncertain whether high dose corticosteroid or hydroxychloroquine reduces the risks of mortality in KTRs with COVID-19.
