Abstract

transplant recipients Medicine infection bacteria solid organ transplant Rhodococcus hematopoietic stem cell transplant Infectious and parasitic diseases
We conducted a case–control study of 18 US transplant recipients with Rhodococcus infection and 36 matched controls. The predominant types of infection were pneumonia and bacteremia. Diabetes mellitus and recent opportunistic infection were independently associated with disease. Outcomes were generally favorable except for 1 relapse and 1 death.
