Sumario:The incidence of an active tuberculosis infection after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is high. We herein report the case of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia after cord blood transplantation (CBT). On day 36 after CBT, the patient developed fever, and a computed tomography scan on day 36 showed mild thickening of the wall of the gallbladder. Subsequently, a sputum specimen and a blood culture returned positive for the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. After 2 months of administering combination therapy, both the symptoms and gallbladder findings improved. We therefore describe a case of disseminated tuberculosis with the gallbladder mimicking acute cholecystitis in a CBT recipient.
