Abstract
Pulmonary infections remain the leading cause of death in patients after heart transplantation. Lung tuberculosis is more common in transplant recipients than in general population. Two cases of tuberculosis are presented in patients after heart transplantation. Regarding to influence of rifampicin on immunosuppressive therapy, those patients were treated with antimycobacterial drugs except rifampicin. A cure without recurrence can be achieved with a scheme of treatment regimes without rifampicin.
