Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections usually present as an enlarged lymph node in the neck of a non-immunocompromised child. The differential diagnosis includes bacterial adenitis, malignant disease and tuberculosis. The definitive diagnosis relies upon isolating the organisms in culture. The treatment is complete surgical excision with, or without, anti-tuberculous chemotherapy. Ten cases of NTM infections are presented with a discussion of the aetiology and treatment of this condition.
非结核分枝杆菌（NTM）感染通常表现为非免疫功能低下儿童颈部淋巴结肿大。鉴别诊断包括细菌性腺炎、恶性疾病和结核病。确诊依赖于在培养物中分离出病原体。治疗方法是完整的手术切除，可联合或不联合抗结核化疗。本文介绍了10例NTM感染病例，并对该病的病因和治疗进行了讨论。
