Infections in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) carry great risk of morbidity-mortality, and the risk of graft loss. Concomitant infections, although common in immunosuppressed patients, should be highly suspected. The present case involves a RTR with opportunistic pulmonary co-infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb), Mycobacterium smegmatis (MSm), and Aspergillus spp. While MSm can be a colonizing microorganism, we demonstrate that it can also be pathogenic.
肾移植受者(RTR)发生感染会带来很高的发病和死亡风险,以及移植肾丢失风险。合并感染在免疫抑制患者中虽很常见,但仍应高度怀疑。本病例涉及一名RTR,其发生了由结核分枝杆菌(MTb)、耻垢分枝杆菌(MSm)和曲霉属引起的机会性肺部合并感染。虽然MSm可能是一种定植微生物,但我们证明它也可能具有致病性。
