Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) commonly manifest as cervical lymphadenitis in immunocompetent children. Only a few species, such as (MAC), cause infection in children. With recent advances in gene sequencing, has been identified as a rare cause of adenitis in children, with at least ten cases reported since 1993.

Unlabelled: Accurate species identification is a prerequisite for successful management of tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) diseases. The novel FluoroType Mycobacteria assay combines three established GenoType DNA strip assays (CM, AS, and NTM-DR), allowing detection of and 32 NTM species/subspecies in a single assay with automatic detection and result analysis. We evaluated the clinical performance of the FluoroType assay and its feasibility in replacing the GenoType Mycobacterium CM assay as the initial method for mycobacterial identification.

We herein report a case of Mycobacterium interjectum pulmonary disease (M. interjectum-PD) that improved considerably after azithromycin (AZM), rifampicin (RFP), and ethambutol (EB) therapy. A 69-year-old woman, managed locally for suspected NTM-PD based on chest computed tomography (CT) findings was referred to our hospital for worsening productive cough six years after the initial diagnosis.

Background: Incidence of mycobacterial infections has been increasing. However, diagnosis and treatment of mycobacterial infections can be difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the mycolic acids for rapid identification and dendrogram cluster analysis of mycobacterium species.
