AI Article Synopsis
- Mycobacterium szulgai is a rare pathogen first identified in 1972, typically causing lung infections not related to tuberculosis.
- The pathogen was isolated and identified from a patient's bronchoalveolar lavage specimen using hsp65 gene sequencing.
- The patient was HIV-positive and also had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, highlighting the importance of this pathogen in immunocompromised individuals.
Article Abstract
Mycobacterium szulgai, described for the first time in 1972, is a rare human pathogen that mainly causes pulmonary non-tubercular mycobacteriosis. We report its isolation and identification from a bronchoalveolar lavage specimen by hsp65 gene sequencing analysis in an HIV-positive patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
