The Mycobacterium terrae complex, consisting of three saprophytic species, M. terrae, M. nonchromogenicum, and M. triviale, rarely causes human disease. Only six cases of respiratory infection involving the complex have been documented worldwide. A case of primary pulmonary disease in a previously healthy young woman caused by M. terrae complex is described.
地分枝杆菌复合体由三种腐生菌组成,即地分枝杆菌、非产色分枝杆菌和 triviale 分枝杆菌,很少引起人类疾病。全世界仅记录了6例涉及该复合体的呼吸道感染病例。本文描述了一例由地分枝杆菌复合体引起的、发生在一名既往健康的年轻女性身上的原发性肺部疾病病例。
