Mycobacterium chelonei is a saprophytic germ usually devoid of pathogenic activity. Over a period of about the last ten years, however, several cases have been reported, including twelve cases of bronchopulmonary affections, in which it has been the infecting organism. The radiographic appearance is in every respect similar to that observed in pulmonary tuberculosis. A positive diagnosis of infection due to this germ can be made by the absence of Kuch's bacillus the lack of therapeutic effect of antituberculous medication, a positive skin reaction to specific antigens, and positive Mycobacterium Chelonei cultures from biopsy specimens. A new case of this infection is reported.
龟分枝杆菌是一种通常无致病活性的腐生菌。然而，在过去大约十年的时间里，已有多例病例报告，其中包括12例支气管肺部感染病例，该菌为感染源。其影像学表现与肺结核所见的完全相似。由于该菌感染而做出的阳性诊断可依据库奇杆菌阴性、抗结核药物治疗无效、对特异性抗原的皮肤反应阳性以及活检标本中龟分枝杆菌培养阳性来确定。本文报告了1例该感染的新病例。
