Mycobacterium szulgai is one of the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and rarely causes diseases in human beings, particularly in immunocompetent patients. Less than 1% of all cases of NTM infection are caused by M szulgai, but the incidence is continuously increasing. Although extrapulmonary infections have been reported, most M szulgai infections are associated with pulmonary diseases. However, to our knowledge, a urinary tract infection caused by M szulgai has never before been reported. Here we report an immunocompetent female who experienced a urinary tract infection caused by M szulgai and was successfully treated with 4 months of isoniazid, rifampin, and levofloxacin.
苏尔加分枝杆菌是一种非结核分枝杆菌（NTM），很少导致人类发病，尤其是免疫功能正常的患者。所有NTM感染病例中，由苏尔加分枝杆菌引起的不到1%，但其发病率在持续上升。虽然已有肺外感染的报道，但大多数苏尔加分枝杆菌感染与肺部疾病有关。然而，据我们所知，此前从未有过苏尔加分枝杆菌引起尿路感染的报道。在此，我们报告一例免疫功能正常的女性，她感染了苏尔加分枝杆菌导致尿路感染，并通过4个月的异烟肼、利福平及左氧氟沙星治疗成功治愈。
