1392. Tuberculosis Disease in Recipients of Organ-Transplantation, California 2010–2017

Abstract Background Tuberculosis (TB) disease in persons who have received organ transplantation causes high morbidity, but the epidemiology and clinical features of this problem remain poorly described. Methods Using California TB registry data from 2010–2017, we describe clinical features of all TB cases occurring in patients who previously received solid-organ transplantation. We compared TB cases with and without transplant, and examined mortality controlling for age. Results During 8 years of observation, the California TB Registry recorded 116 cases of post-transplant TB. A majority of patients with post-transplant TB were >45 year old (84%), nonwhite (90%), and born outside of the United States (84%). Of 116 cases, 48 (41%) had pulmonary disease, while 68 (59%) had extra-pulmonary or both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary disease, compared with 69% and 31%, respectively, in non-transplant-associated TB (P 6 months prior to TB diagnosis. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant TB disease is more likely to be extra-pulmonary and result in death than non-transplant-associated TB, and that opportunities may exist for preventing TB disease through screening and treatment for LTBI in this population.
