Comment on “nontuberculous mycobacterial infection after lung transplantation: a report of four cases”

Abstract

Abstract Nontuberculous mycobacteria can lead to pulmonary infection in lung transplantation cases, which is associated with high mortality rates. We hereby thank Dr. Ose et al. very much for their report on “Nontuberculous mycobacterial infection after lung transplantation: A report of four cases”; however, we have confronted with several questions to have a new review of these cases.
