Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are pathogens that commonly affect the paediatric population and its most frequent manifestation is a cervicofacial lymphadenopathy. With the improvement of technologies, new species have been recently identified.
We report the first case of NMT lymphadenitis in a child caused by Mycobacterium marseillense, a newly described species belonging to Mycobacterium avium complex.
Improving the identification of these newly discovered mycobacteria, further information will be available about their clinical involvement and their best treatment.
非结核分枝杆菌(NTM)是一种常见的病原体,常影响儿童人群,其最常见的表现为颈面部淋巴结病。随着技术的进步,最近已经发现了新的物种。
我们报告了首例由马赛分枝杆菌引起的儿童非结核分枝杆菌淋巴结炎,这是一种新描述的分枝杆菌属,属于鸟分枝杆菌复合体。
随着这些新发现的分枝杆菌鉴定技术的提高,将获得更多关于它们临床相关性及其最佳治疗方法的信息。
