Abstract Miliary tuberculosis (TB) presents a major challenge following a renal transplant in humans. In the current report, we described a patient with disseminated TB following renal transplantation. The article presents the case of a 38-year-old man who presented an 8-month history of fever, chills, sweating, low-back pain and significant weight loss. Chest radiography and computed tomography (CT) scan showed miliary nodules distributed in the two lungs. The transbronchial lung biopsy revealed a granulomatous reaction with caseous necrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain found multiple tuberculomas. Also, MRI of the lumbosacral was indicative of a psoas abscess. Therefore, miliary pulmonary, cerebral and spinal TB was confirmed. The patient was started on an anti-TB regimen and paravertebral aspiration was also done. The patient’s condition improved considerably. In conclusion, this case report can remind us of the importance of maintaining a high clinical suspicion and performing a thorough workup to establish a timely diagnosis and treatment of miliary TB.

We report a case of polyarticular septic arthritis with bilateral psoas abscesses. A 50-year-old woman was admitted with fever, multiple joint swelling and pain. She had a clinical history of acupuncture therapy for treatment of her chronic lower back pain two days before the appearance of her symptoms. Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from blood culture, knee joint fluids and psoas abscess. After a long course of antibiotics for 70 days together with drainage of the abscess, the condition completely resolved. The acupuncture is the probable cause of the infection, and this case report reveals the importance of asking about a clinical history of acupuncture treatment and of making repeated bacterial examinations in undiagnosed polyarthritis patients.
