Non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) infection can cause a broad range of pathology, especially in an immunocompromised patient. We report a case of ascending lower extremity nodules in a renal transplant patient that were found to be caused by , an NTM. We discuss the clinical evaluation and workup of this patient and why NTM infections may require a high degree of clinical suspicion to properly diagnose and treat.
非结核分枝杆菌（NTM）感染可导致广泛的病理变化，尤其是在免疫功能低下的患者中。我们报告一例肾移植患者下肢出现结节并逐渐增多的病例，发现是由一种NTM引起的。我们讨论了该患者的临床评估和检查过程，以及为什么NTM感染可能需要高度的临床怀疑才能正确诊断和治疗。
