Article Title: | Paradoxical immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome associated with disseminated tuberculosis infection in an unrelated donor cord blood transplant recipient |
Abstract: | Tuberculosis (TB) is an infrequent infection after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), with associated mortality up to 30%. The utility of universal screening for latent TB in HCT candidates is controversial due to the lack of sensitive screening tests. We describe a case of disseminated TB infection complicated by immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in an adult double unit umbilical cord blood transplant recipient who originated from the United Arab Emirates. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
