Abstract

We report the first case series of allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplant patients with graft versus host disease who developed cutaneous non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection. A multidisciplinary approach, reduction of immunosuppressive medications, combination of antibiotics, close skin surveillance and excision of suitable lesions are recommended in this specific subgroup.
