ABSTRACT
Infections are the commonest cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients. In India, tuberculosis is a one such common infection in these patients and presents with protean manifestations. We report here a case of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) and segmental portal hypertension in a renal transplant recipient. Search for the cause of portal hypertension revealed abdominal tubercular lymphadenitis. Treatment with anti-tubercular therapy caused regression of segmental portal hypertension.
