摘要：

Mycobacterial infection has once again come to the fore with the advent of the AIDS epidemic. However, other groups of immunocompromised patients are also at risk of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. Recent reports have described patients with acute leukaemia, lymphoma or organ transplants who have been infected with Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium scrofulaceum, Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium haemophilum. The risk factors, clinical syndromes, and developments in the investigation, prevention and treatment of these infections are discussed in this review.
