Abstract
Mycobacterium szulgai is a nontuberculous pathogen found in the environment that rarely affects immunocompetent hosts but can cause multiorgan disease in immunocompromised hosts. Here, we report a rare case of disseminated M. szulgai in an immunocompromised patient with a liver transplant and drug-induced neutropenia who initially presented with cutaneous lesions on his arms and right upper extremity joint pain.
