First case of Mycobacterium marseillense lymphadenitis in a child

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are pathogens that commonly affect the paediatric population and its most frequent manifestation is a cervicofacial lymphadenopathy. With the improvement of technologies, new species have been recently identified. We report the first case of NMT lymphadenitis in a c...

More Information
Summary:Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are pathogens that commonly affect the paediatric population and its most frequent manifestation is a cervicofacial lymphadenopathy. With the improvement of technologies, new species have been recently identified. We report the first case of NMT lymphadenitis in a child caused by Mycobacterium marseillense, a newly described species belonging to Mycobacterium avium complex. Improving the identification of these newly discovered mycobacteria, further information will be available about their clinical involvement and their best treatment.
