A 56‐year‐old man was diagnosed with Mycobacterium genavense duodenitis 21 months after an allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplant complicated by graft‐versus‐host disease requiring intense immunosuppression. This duodenitis responded to prolonged therapy with clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and rifabutin and reduction of immunosuppression.
