Mycobacterium fortuitum is a rapidly growing mycobacteria recovered from human infections such as skin, soft tissue, skeletal and pulmonary infectious diseases. We report 2 cases of M. fortuitum isolation from clinical samples from two patients placed on dialysis program. Our clinical findings were: The first, the presence of an abscess in the area of insertion of a CAPD catheter and the second, the detection of a lobar pneumonia in a patient placed on long-term hemodialysis program. We consider this report to be important because of the few reported cases of non tuberculous mycobacterial infections in patients with chronic renal failure.
偶然分枝杆菌是一种快速生长的分枝杆菌，可从人类感染中分离出来，如皮肤、软组织、骨骼和肺部感染性疾病。我们报告了2例从接受透析治疗的两名患者的临床样本中分离出偶然分枝杆菌的病例。我们的临床发现如下：第一例，一名持续非卧床腹膜透析（CAPD）导管插入部位出现脓肿；第二例，一名长期接受血液透析治疗的患者检测出大叶性肺炎。我们认为本报告很重要，因为慢性肾衰竭患者中非结核分枝杆菌感染的报告病例较少。
