Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lymphadenitis typically presents as a unilateral, non-tender, slowly enlarging cervical, submandibular, or pre-auricular lymph node in children. Disseminated NTM infection is most often seen in immunocompromised children. Here, we present an unusual case of extensive bilateral cervical and retropharyngeal lymphadenitis caused by Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) in an ostensibly immunocompetent pediatric patient.
非结核分枝杆菌（NTM）淋巴结炎通常表现为儿童单侧、无痛、缓慢增大的颈、颌下或耳前淋巴结。播散性 NTM 感染最常发生于免疫功能低下的儿童。在此，我们报告一例看似免疫功能正常的儿科患者由鸟分枝杆菌复合群（MAC）引起的广泛双侧颈和咽后淋巴结炎的不常见病例。
