Abstract
Mycobacterium fortuitum is an uncommon, but well-recognized, pathogen in im munocompromised hosts, with special predilection for bone and soft tissue i nfections in solid organ transplant recipients. We describe a case of osteo myelitis due to this pathogen in a peripheral blood stem cell transplant re cipient.
