• Resumen

  • Mycobacteria other than tuberculosis are important pathogens to consider in solid organ transplant recipients. Delay in recognition and treatment may incur significant morbidity and mortality. Management of mycobacteria other than tuberculosis requires a knowledge of treatment specific for each species and drug–drug interactions between antimicrobial and immunosuppressive drugs. Therapy in solid organ transplant can be prolonged and may require a reduction in immunosuppression to improve outcomes.
