Mycobacterial Infections in Solid Organ and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Tahuanty Pena et al. Clin Chest Med. 2017 Dec.

Abstract

Mycobacterial infections are uncommon in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients but carry significant morbidity and mortality. Donor screening strategies for tuberculosis should be emphasized in high-risk populations. Both tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections can have pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations of infections. Recommended treatment regimens typically involve multiple drugs with significant adverse effects and drug interactions.

Keywords: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Nontuberculous mycobacteria; Transplantation.
