Abstract
We present a case of miliary tuberculosis presenting as fever of unknown origin in an immunosuppressed patient following renal transplantation. Biopsy of the renal transplant revealed acid-fast bacilli histopathologically. Eye examination revealed bilateral choroidal tubercles. Recipients of kidney transplants with fever of undetermined aetiology should be investigated for tuberculosis and fundoscopy performed.Entities:
