Resumen :	Solid organ transplant recipients have a higher risk of active Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (TB) compared to the general population. Recognized risk factors are immunosuppressant use, graft dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus, and co-infections by other opportunists. Most of the active TB cases reported in solid organ transplant recipients occur in kidney transplant patients, especially if they come from M tuberculosis-endemic areas. Extrapulmonary and disseminated TB are among the wide spectrum of clinical presentations found, but the lungs are the most common organ affected. Disseminated disease occurs in up to a third of the affected population, however, multifocal osteoarticular TB with mycobacteremia is unusual. We report the case of a kidney transplant patient with disseminated M tuberculosis infection, who presented with multifocal skeletal TB.
