Skin and Soft Tissue Infection due to Rapidly Growing Mycobacteria: Case Series and Literature Review
BACKGROUND Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous in soil and water. Most NTM cause disease in humans only rarely unless some aspect of host defense is impaired. Recently, rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) is not uncommon, and the prevalence of RGM infection has been increasing. RGM causes a wide spectrum of pulmonary and extrapulmonary diseases and has been shown as an important sou...
متن کاملA Novel Rapidly Growing Mycobacterium Species Causing an Abdominal Cerebrospinal Fluid Pseudocyst Infection
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a rare cause of ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections. We describe the isolation and identification of a novel, rapidly growing, nonpigmented NTM from an abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst. The patient presented with fevers, nausea, and abdominal pain and clinically improved after shunt removal. NTM identification was performed by amplicon and whole-g...
متن کاملInfections due to rapidly growing mycobacteria.
Rapidly growing mycobacteria, generally of low virulence, are capable of causing a wide spectrum of infections. Increasing reports in the literature, referral center experiences, and data from the Infectious Disease Society of America Emerging Infectious Disease Network suggest that greater numbers of infections are occurring. Epidemiological study is imperative in understanding the true incide...
متن کاملCutaneous atypical mycobacterial infection with Mycobacterium fortuitum arising after endovenous radiofrequency ablation
RGM: rapidly growing mycobacteria INTRODUCTION Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are defined as nontuberculous mycobacteria that show growth within 7 days. RGM are widely distributed in the environment, and several studies have identified RGM in tap water. The ability of RGM to form biofilm serves to increase virulence and augment their resistance to disinfection. In immunocompetent patients, ...
متن کاملMycobacterium cosmeticum sp. nov., a novel rapidly growing species isolated from a cosmetic infection and from a nail salon.
Four isolates of a rapidly growing Mycobacterium species had a mycolic acid pattern similar to that of Mycobacterium smegmatis, as determined by HPLC analyses. Three of the isolates were from footbath drains and a sink at a nail salon located in Atlanta, GA, USA; the fourth was obtained from a granulomatous subdermal lesion of a female patient in Venezuela who was undergoing mesotherapy. By ran...
