Infection due to Mycobacterium avium is rare in man and its definitive diagnosis is based upon culture, usually taken from a cervical lesion. The lack of systemic involvement, the negative history for contact with tuberculosis, the normal chest roentgenogram and the fact that Mycobacterium avium complex grows slowly on standard Mycobacterial media, make it difficult to diagnosis. The purpose of this communication is to re-emphasize the possibility of infection by group III Mycobacterium complex in the differential diagnosis of children with cervical lymphadenitis and to describe the important use of Auramine-O fluorescent stain in the early detection of this disease.
鸟分枝杆菌感染在人类中较为罕见，其确诊基于培养，培养样本通常取自颈部病变。缺乏全身受累情况、无结核接触史、胸部X线片正常以及鸟分枝杆菌复合群在标准分枝杆菌培养基上生长缓慢，使得诊断变得困难。本通讯的目的是再次强调在儿童颈部淋巴结炎的鉴别诊断中存在Ⅲ组分枝杆菌复合群感染的可能性，并描述金胺 - O荧光染色在该病早期检测中的重要作用。
