We report two cases of Mycobacterium malmoense bacteremia in two patients with AIDS. These are the first reported cases of disseminated M. malmoense in human immunodeficiency virus patients occurring in the United States. This slow-growing organism can cause invasive disease mimicking Mycobacterium avium complex infection; recognition and identification of this organism by mycobacteriology laboratories are essential for appropriate diagnosis and therapy of disseminated disease.
我们报告了两例艾滋病患者发生马尔默分枝杆菌菌血症的病例。这是美国首次报告的人类免疫缺陷病毒患者中播散性马尔默分枝杆菌感染病例。这种生长缓慢的病原体可引起类似鸟分枝杆菌复合群感染的侵袭性疾病;分枝杆菌实验室对该病原体的识别和鉴定对于播散性疾病的恰当诊断和治疗至关重要。
