Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients are prone to infectious complications. Infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria have increased in adults but literature in children is scarce. We report 6 episodes of disseminated or pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria infection among 5 pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. All but one were caused by Mycobacterium avium complex. Four patients died, 2 related to nontuberculous mycobacteria infection.
