Abstract

Abstract: Mycobacterium senegalense is primarily known in sub‐Saharan Africa to cause bovine farcy, a chronic granulomatous inflammation of the skin and lymphatics in cows. Reports of M. senegalense are rare among humans. We report a unique case of M. senegalense bloodstream infection in a living donor kidney transplant recipient with multiple possible sources of infection.
