title: Mycobacterium genavense duodenitis following allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
abstract: A 56-year-old man was diagnosed with Mycobacterium genavense duodenitis 21 months after an allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplant complicated by graft-versus-host disease requiring intense immunosuppression. This duodenitis responded to prolonged therapy with clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and rifabutin and reduction of immunosuppression.
