Pulmonary Infection Due to Mycobacterium Lentiflavum-A Case Report

Mycobacterium lentiflavum引起的肺部感染,病例報告

摘要


Mycobacterium lentiflavum是一種最近才鑑定出的非結核分枝桿茵。因為引起的肺部感染仍然罕見。我們報告了三位肺部感染M. lentiflavum的病患,其臨床症狀及胸部X光片的表現與肺結核相似。M. lentiflavum對第一線抗結核藥物通常有抗藥性,如果抗生素敏感性試驗對Streptomycin或kanamycin具敏感性。可將其加入治療處方中。短期的療法效果不佳,長達18-24個月的治療可能是必須的。

並列摘要


Mycobacterium lentiflavum is a recently identified non-tuberculous mycobacterial species. Pulmonary infection with M. lentiflavum is rare. We report 3 patients infected with M lentiflavum with a clinical presentation and radiological findings mimicking pulmonary tuberculosis. This organism is usually not susceptible to single first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Streptomycin or kanamycin can be incorporated into the regimen if the isolates display susceptibility. Treatment for 18-24 months may be necessary because short-course chemotherapy cannot eradicate the M. lentiflavum infection completely.
