A 2-month-old male with failure to thrive and respiratory symptoms was found to have bilateral pneumonia secondary to Mycobacterium abscessus . M. abscessus pulmonary infections have mainly been noted in immunocompromised children; prior reports presented similarly, though our patient is unique given the young age of presentation and lack of diagnosed immunodeficiency or underlying disease.
一名两个月大的男性因生长发育迟缓且有呼吸系统症状，被诊断为分支杆菌脓肿导致的双侧肺炎。分支杆菌脓肿肺部感染主要发生在免疫功能低下的儿童中；先前的报告也提出了类似的情况，尽管我们的患者很独特，因为他的发病年龄较小，且没有诊断出免疫缺陷或潜在疾病。
