is a rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium which is ubiquitous in nature. While it can cause line related infections in immunocompromised host, case reports of urinary tract infections, cutaneous infections, pulmonary infections, and meningoencephalitis have also been reported. We report the first case of line related bacteremia with concomitant pulmonary involvement. Our patient responded well to a nine week course of antimicrobials after removal of infected central line.
是一种快速生长的非结核分枝杆菌，在自然界中普遍存在。虽然它可在免疫功能低下的宿主中引起与导管相关的感染，但也有关于尿路感染、皮肤感染、肺部感染和脑膜脑炎的病例报告。我们报告首例伴有肺部受累的与导管相关的菌血症病例。我们的患者在拔除感染的中心静脉导管后，对抗菌药物9周疗程反应良好。
