This report documents asymptomatic infections of Mycobacterium kansasii in four of five tuberculin positive squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus sciureus). The mycobacterial DNA amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from a bronchial lymph node had no affinity for the species specific probes of M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M. intracellulare, thus allowing the presumptive diagnosis of an atypical mycobacterial infection. Infection by Mycobacterium kansasii was confirmed by culture of bronchial lymph nodes from three monkeys. The source of the infection was never identified.
本报告记录了五只结核菌素阳性松鼠猴（Saimiri sciureus sciureus）中有四只感染堪萨斯分枝杆菌但无症状。通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）从支气管淋巴结扩增出的分枝杆菌DNA与结核分枝杆菌、鸟分枝杆菌和胞内分枝杆菌的种特异性探针无亲和力，因此初步诊断为非典型分枝杆菌感染。三只猴子支气管淋巴结培养证实感染了堪萨斯分枝杆菌。感染源始终未查明。
