title: Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are rarely diagnosed in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. We describe a case of disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex with gastrointestinal tract involvement in a HSCT recipient. We reviewed NTM infections among pediatric HSCT patients at our institution from 2000-2004 and identified 2 additional cases. Fourteen published case reports of NTM disease in children are reviewed.
