Abstract
|
|
|
|
Mycobacterium kansasii is a slow-growing, nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) that primarily affects lung tissue. Cutaneous infection with M. kansasii has not been reported previously in heart transplant recipients in Korea. We report a case of cutaneous infection caused by M. kansasii in a heart transplant recipient. The patient was treated successfully for 18 months with ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, ethambutol, and rifampin.
