Introduction: Dermatologic manifestations of diseases in solid organ transplant recipients are common due to long-term immunosuppression.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 63-year-old man with a kidney transplant who exhibited subcutaneous nodules on lower extremities, cytopenia, and asymptomatic pulmonary infiltrate. Through a skin biopsy and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing, was identified.

Introduction: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) mediated infections are important to consider in cases with neuroinflammatory presentations. We aimed to characterize cases of NTM with neurological manifestations at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center and review the relevant literature.
Materials And Methods: Between January 1995 and December 2020, six cases were identified.

Background: Mycobacterium haemophilum has been increasingly found in severely immunocompromised patients but is scarcely reported in immunocompetent adults.
Methods: We systematically reviewed previous literature to identify studies on infection in immunocompetent adults. Articles reporting at least one case of M.

Background: is a nontuberculous mycobacterium with fastidious growth requirements and an increasingly reported cause of extrapulmonary disease. Timely diagnosis and management of infections and the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndromes (IRIS) observed in a subset of patients during treatment remain challenging.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review between January 1, 2010, and January 1, 2022 and identified 26 patients diagnosed with infection at our institution.

A 4-year-old female spayed Australian cattle dog was presented to the Emergency Service at the University of Missouri Veterinary Health Center Small Animal Hospital for generalized pain and lethargy. At presentation, the dog showed severe cervical spinal pain and thoracic limb deficits consistent with a multifocal neuroanatomic localization. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed T2 and T1 postcontrast intense signal extending from the level of the medulla through C5 most marked in the caudal brainstem and cranial cervical spinal cord.

Background: Mycobacterium haemophilum is a slow-growing non-chromogenic nontuberculous Mycobacterium species that can cause skin infection or arthritis in an immunocompromised population or in children. Primary infection of the healthy adult cornea is rare. The special requirements for culture make this pathogen difficult to diagnose.

is a slow-growing, aerobic mycobacterium that acts as a pathogen in immunocompromised adult patients and immunocompetent children. There are only a few rare cases in the literature describing this species as a cause of subcutaneous infections. Here, we describe a subcutaneous infection caused by in an immunocompetent female after lipolysis injections at an unqualified beauty salon, suggesting that this bacteria can also be a potential causative agent of adverse events in medical aesthetics.

is an increasingly recognized pathogen of the non-tuberculous mycobacteria family that largely infects immunocompromised adults and immunocompetent children. is a fastidious and slow-growing organism that exhibits preferential growth at lower temperature with iron supplemented media, and therefore most clinical manifestations involve cutaneous infection or musculoskeletal infection of the distal extremities. It is believed that opportunistic infection occurs in immunocompromised hosts when the organism is acquired through environmental exposure.

In premise plumbing, microbial water quality may deteriorate under certain conditions, such as stagnation. Stagnation results in a loss of disinfectant residual, which may lead to the regrowth of microorganisms, including opportunistic pathogens. In the present study, microbial regrowth was investigated at eight faucets in a building over four seasons in one year.

is a nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) with a predilection for skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) in the immunocompromised host. We report a case of disseminated infection initially presenting as a nonresolving subacute cellulitis of bilateral lower extremities. Genetic sequencing was used for final identification, while a commercially available polymerase chain reaction test returned a false-positive result for .

is a rarely encountered pathogen that is difficult to identify given its unique growth requirements. It is most often seen in adult patients who are immunosuppressed due to advanced HIV or haematological malignancy. Our case highlights a typical presentation of an atypical pathogen in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis receiving anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) stands out as the main causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). However, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species also have the potential to infect and cause TB in susceptible individuals. The objective of this study was to identify NTM species that cause public health problems in remote areas.
