Sažetak
Lung transplant (LuTx) recipients represent a population at risk of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). Yet the risk factors, the timing of NTM-PD after transplantation, and the association with allograft dysfunction all remain poorly defined. We report 2 cases of early- onset NTM- PD and review the literature, focusing on NTM- PD in LuTx recipients not colonized with NTM prior to transplantation. In addition, we summarize the main characteristics and differences between early- and late-onset disease
