	abstract = {Recipients of organ transplants are at increased risk for infection owing to their immunosuppressed state and the possibility of contamination of the donor organ. We report a case of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR) transmission via a donor lung. After medical treatment with four drugs had failed, the patient underwent right upper lobectomy. There were no signs of disease on follow up more than 2 years later. To our knowledge, this is the first report of MDR tuberculosis in a lung transplant recipient. The need for a non-conservative approach, including pulmonary resection, to eradicate the infection is emphasised.},
