摘要
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for high morbidity and mortality in immune-compromised hosts.
Case presentation: We present a rare case of cutaneous tuberculosis after orthotopic liver transplantation without involvement of any other organs.
Conclusion: TB risk-factors assessment, careful LTBI screening and treatment according to national guidelines, as well as a reduction in missed opportunity for prevention are necessary to avoid MTB related disease in fragile patients.
