Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as important pathogens in organ transplant recipients. Because NTM pulmonary infections vary in their clinical and radiographic presentations, heightened clinical suspicion is necessary for accurate diagnosis. We report a case of Mycobacterium abscessus empyema in a lung transplant recipient. Repeated attempts at identifying the organism from a variety of clinical specimens led to the correct diagnosis and treatment.
非结核分枝杆菌（NTM）已成为器官移植受者中的重要病原体。由于NTM肺部感染的临床表现和影像学表现各不相同，因此需要提高临床怀疑度以进行准确诊断。我们报告一例肺移植受者发生脓肿分枝杆菌脓胸的病例。通过多次尝试从各种临床标本中鉴定出该病原体，从而得以正确诊断和治疗。
