The incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis is high among such patients. On imaging, tuberculosis has various presentations. Greater understanding of those presentations could reduce the impact of the disease by facilitating early diagnosis. Therefore, we attempted to describe the HRCT patterns of pulmonary tuberculosis in lung transplant recipients.  Methods: From two hospitals in southern Brazil, we collected the following data on lung transplant recipients who developed pulmonary tuberculosis: gender; age; symptoms; the lung disease that led to transplantation; HRCT pattern; distribution of findings; time from transplantation to pulmonary tuberculosis; and mortality rate. The HRCT findings were classified as miliary nodules; cavitation and centrilobular nodules with a tree-in-bud pattern; ground-glass attenuation with consolidation; mediastinal lymph node enlargement; or pleural effusion.  Results: We evaluated 402 lung transplant recipients, 19 of whom developed pulmonary tuberculosis after transplantation. Among those 19 patients, the most common HRCT patterns were ground-glass attenuation with consolidation (in 42%); cavitation and centrilobular nodules with a tree-in-bud pattern (in 31.5%); and mediastinal lymph node enlargement (in 15.7%). Among the patients with cavitation and centrilobular nodules with a tree-in-bud pattern, the distribution was within the upper lobes in 66.6%. No pleural effusion was observed. Despite treatment, one-year mortality was 47.3%.  Conclusions: The predominant HRCT pattern was ground-glass attenuation with consolidation, followed by cavitation and centrilobular nodules with a tree-in-bud pattern. These findings are similar to those reported for immunocompetent patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and considerably different from those reported for AIDS patients with the same disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1806-37562016000000306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,20]],"date-time":"2017-09-20T23:35:38Z","timestamp":1505950538000},"page":"270-273","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["High-resolution computed tomography findings of pulmonary tuberculosis in lung transplant recipients"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Irai Luis","family":"Giacomelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Schuhmacher Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos Schuller","family":"Nin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Priscilla de Souza","family":"Cassano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marisa","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 da Silva","family":"Moreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Douglas Zaione","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Hochhegger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"18","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1140","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198605013141802","article-title":"Unilateral lung transplantation for pulmonary fibrosis","volume":"314","year":"1986","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-6143.2005.01159.x","article-title":"Impact of lung transplant operation on bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease","volume":"6","author":"Hadjiliadis D","year":"2006","journal-title":"Am J Transplant"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Media centre.
