Mycobacterium canariasense is a recently described late-pigmenting, rapidly growing mycobacterium linked to bacteremia in patients with underlying malignant diseases. We report a case of M. canariasense infection in a patient from Massachusetts with underlying diffuse B cell lymphoma, which was identified both by multilocus sequence typing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). To our knowledge, this is the first description after its original identification in Spain and the first report of this opportunistic pathogen in the Americas.
加那利感觉分枝杆菌是一种最近被描述的色素沉着较晚、生长迅速的分枝杆菌,与患有潜在恶性疾病的患者发生菌血症有关。我们报告了一例来自马萨诸塞州的潜在弥漫性B细胞淋巴瘤患者感染加那利感觉分枝杆菌的病例,该病例通过多位点序列分型和基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)得以确诊。据我们所知,这是该菌在西班牙首次被鉴定后首次被描述,也是在美洲首次报道这种机会性致病菌。
