Mycobacterium sherrisii is a recently described mycobacterium closely related to Mycobacterium simiae. There have been only a few reports of this organism causing disease, predominantly in the setting of HIV with severe immunosuppression. We report the first case of disseminated M. sherrisii associated with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
谢里斯分枝杆菌是一种最近被描述的分枝杆菌,与猿分枝杆菌密切相关。关于这种微生物致病的报道仅有少数几例,主要发生在严重免疫抑制的HIV患者中。我们报告了首例与免疫重建炎症综合征相关的播散性谢里斯分枝杆菌病例。
