Abstract
A 24 yr old man developed a severe pleuropulmonary infection with M. kansasii 18 mo. after receiving a kidney transplant from his mother. Intestinal malabsorption with severe diarrhea and a skin abscess disappeared and his pneumonia was cured when rifampin was administered. This suggested that generalized dissemination with M. kansasii may have been present.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
