Impact of type of calcineurin inhibitor on post‐transplant tuberculosis: Single‐center study from India

Tuberculosis (TB) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients. Immunosuppressive drugs are one of the most important risk factor for post‐transplant tuberculosis (PTTB). A paucity of data exists about the impact of the type of calcineurin inhibitor on PTTB.
