Core Tip	This review highlights the importance of stem cells transplant (SCT) in individuals with cancer and hematological malignancies. However, the risk of acquiring tuberculosis (TB) in this way, has received little attention, especially in developing countries. SCT candidates should be screened for TB with a careful medical history and chart review to ascertain any history of prior TB exposure, since immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk of latent TB progression to active disease. Finally, we mention the importance of the immune response, particularly in allogeneic stem cell transplants, because infection by intracellular microorganisms such as Mycobacterium TB, could be inhibited by the process named cell reprogramming.
