Pneumonia due to with a chronic course resembling non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection.

is a common bacterium that rarely causes pneumonia. Determining whether is the cause of lung infection in patients suspected of having chronic infectious lung disease is challenging because it can present with colonization. We report a case of a 56-year-old immunocompetent woman suspected of having non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection on imaging examination and monitored for 3 years.

Molecular Serotype-Specific Identification of Non-type b by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification.

Over the past four decades, the incidence of meningitis caused by in children has decreased due to widespread vaccination against type b (Hib). The incidence of invasive diseases due to types not included in the vaccines, however, has increased. At present, there are a limited number of diagnostics available to detect non-type b .
