"Mycobacterium tilburgii" is a nontuberculous mycobacterium that cannot be cultured by current techniques. It is described as causing disseminated disease in adults. We present the first cases of disseminated disease in 2 immunocompromised children. This paper stresses the importance of molecular techniques for correct mycobacterial identification and guidance to immunological diagnosis.
“分枝杆菌蒂尔堡”是一种无法通过当前技术培养的非结核分枝杆菌。据描述,它可引起成人播散性疾病。我们报告了首例 2 例免疫功能低下儿童播散性疾病。本文强调了分子技术在正确鉴定分枝杆菌和指导免疫诊断方面的重要性。
