Reported here are two cases of Mycobacterium malmoense lymphadenitis that occurred in two immunocompetent children in Spain. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first documented cases of extrapulmonary infection by M. malmoense in Spain. This report serves to draw attention to this emerging nontuberculous mycobacterium that is gaining increasing recognition as a pulmonary and extrapulmonary pathogen in different countries.
本文报告了西班牙两名免疫功能正常儿童发生的马尔默分枝杆菌淋巴结炎病例。据我们所知,这些是西班牙首例有记录的马尔默分枝杆菌肺外感染病例。本报告旨在引起人们对这种新出现的非结核分枝杆菌的关注,该菌在不同国家作为肺部和肺外病原体正日益受到认可。
