title: Skin infection caused by Mycobacterium szulgai after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
abstract: Infections are responsible for a large part of the morbidity and mortality after BMT because of the sustained impairment of host defenses. We report a case of cutaneous infection caused by Mycobacterium szulgai in a boy who underwent BMT with marrow from a matched unrelated donor.
