Mycobacterium sherrisii is an acid fast organism that is recently validated as a novel species. It is recognized to cause severe disease in immunosuppressed individuals especially in patients with HIV. We describe a case M. sherrisii pneumonia which was diagnosed using PCR coupled with electrospray ionization mass-spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS) technology.
谢里斯分枝杆菌是一种抗酸菌,最近被确认为一个新物种。它被认为会在免疫功能低下的个体中引发严重疾病,尤其是在艾滋病毒患者中。我们描述了一例通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)结合电喷雾电离质谱(PCR/ESI-MS)技术诊断出的谢里斯分枝杆菌肺炎病例。
