A case of infection with a newly described scotochromogenic mycobacterial species, Mycobacterium szulgai, is presented, and all the reported cases are summarized. The disease is characterized by its predominance in middle-aged men, the occurrence of cavitary pulmonary lesions, and a good response to triple-drug therapy. Sputum samples are usually positive on smear. Drug susceptibility studies show a greater degree of susceptibility to several antituberculosis drugs than the usual scotochromogen. Mycobacterium szulgai has frequently been confused with other atypical mycobacteria, but serologic and other laboratory characteristics are distinct and should allow proper identification.
本文报告了1例感染新描述的暗产色分枝杆菌菌种——苏尔加分枝杆菌的病例，并对所有已报道病例进行了总结。该疾病的特点是在中年男性中更为常见，出现空洞性肺部病变，且对三联药物治疗反应良好。痰标本涂片通常呈阳性。药敏研究表明，与常见的暗产色菌相比，它对几种抗结核药物的敏感性更高。苏尔加分枝杆菌常与其他非典型分枝杆菌混淆，但血清学和其他实验室特征不同，应有助于正确识别。
