Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Infections Among Lung Transplant Recipients: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study in Canada

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Posttransplant Mycobacterium abscessus infection occurred in 53% of patients with pretransplant infection. While pretransplant infection itself was not associated with impaired survival, both failure to achieve microbiological eradication before transplant and persistent posttransplant disease were linked to increased mortality.

Comparing the harmful effects of nontuberculous mycobacteria and Gram negative bacteria on lung function in patients with cystic fibrosis [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: To better understand the relative effects of infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria and Gram negative bacteria on lung function decline in cystic fibrosis, we assessed the impact of each infection in a Danish setting.

Aggressive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Setting of GATA2 Deficiency

Head &Neck, Volume 47, Issue 7, Page E82-E86, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Background GATA2 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder associated with hematologic, infectious, and neoplastic complications. We report a case of a patient with GATA2 deficiency who developed aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck, an atypical manifestation of this condition.
