Title
Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infections in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant and Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients
Abstract
The diagnosis of nontuberculous mycobacterial infections is challenging in pediatric solid organ transplant and hematopoietic cell transplant recipients due to the absence of specific clinical manifestations, limitations of sampling, prolonged times for culture and identification, and difficulty discerning colonization from clinical disease. Treatment is dependent on the nontuberculous mycobacterial species, disease type, and pattern of drug resistance. Treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial infections involves prolonged durations of therapy using multiple medications, which are limited by toxicities and drug–drug interactions.
