[Pulmonary disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation--a case report and literature review].
OBJECTIVE
To report a case with pulmonary disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with a literature review.


METHODS
Case report and literature review.


RESULTS
A patient with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia was treated by allo-HSCT. Her NTM lung disease developed after HSCT was successfully treated with a 3 antimicrobials combination of clarithromycin, levofloxacin and capreomycin for 10 months.


CONCLUSIONS
NTM infections are infrequent in allo-HSCT recipients and have a good clinical prognosis if correctly treated.
