Abstract: We report the first case of disseminated Mycobacterium colombiense infection in a solid organ transplant recipient. Co-infection with Cryptococcus neoformans led to fatal multisystem organ failure. We review the pathogen and host factors contributing to these opportunistic infections.<br /> (© 2018 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)
