Mycobacterium celatum is a recently described mycobacterium isolated from patients who have suppressed cell-mediated immunity, such as AIDS. We present here, to our knowledge, the first report of a fatal pulmonary infection caused by M. celatum in a 73-year-old immunocompetent female patient. The mycobacterium was identified by a 16S rRNA sequence analysis.
西氏分枝杆菌是一种最近才被描述的分枝杆菌,从细胞介导免疫受到抑制的患者(如艾滋病患者)中分离得到。据我们所知,我们在此首次报告了一名73岁免疫功能正常的女性患者因西氏分枝杆菌引起的致命肺部感染。该分枝杆菌通过16S rRNA序列分析得以鉴定。
