We report a case of pulmonary mycobacterial infection due to Mycobacterium simiae followed between 1968 and 1985 and leading to unilateral pulmonary destruction. Formal bacteriological proof was obtained by culturing from the pneumonectomy specimen. None of the usual features of immunosuppression were found. This is the first case suffering from this germ described in this part of the world.

Some infected cells in mice survive the acute infection and persist for extended periods in the respiratory tract but not in other tissues. Here, we describe two experimental models of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection to assess the effect of viral virulence on previously infected cells.
