Abstract
The epidemiological situation with tuberculosis in Russia continues to be strained. The issues of accurate diagnosis and treatment remain unsolved; these issues are particularly urgent for the patients after solid organ transplantation because of a higher risk of the disease development while on drug immunosuppression. This article has described the clinical case of a patient with a clinical presentation of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis that emerged in a steroidresistant rejection. The issues of drug therapy and drug interactions with anti-tuberculosis and immunosuppressive agents have been discussed.
