Cervicofacial lymphadenitis in children caused by Mycobacterium haemophilum.
BACKGROUND Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lymphadenitis in children is most often caused by Mycobacterium avium. In a prospective, multicenter trial of the optimal treatment, 23.7% of the NTM cervicofacial lymphadenitis cases in children were caused by Mycobacterium haemophilum. In this article, we describe the epidemiological and clinical features of M. haemophilum cervicofacial lymphadeni...
متن کاملMycobacterium haemophilum and Lymphadenitis in Children
Infections associated with Mycobacterium haemophilum are underdiagnosed because specific culture methods required for its recovery are not applied routinely. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology on fine needle aspirates and biopsied specimens from 89 children with cervicofacial lymphadenitis, we assessed the importance of M. haemophilum. Application of a Mycobacterium genus-specific...
متن کاملMycobacterium haemophilum and Lymphadenitis in Immunocompetent Children, Israel
The database of a major microbiology laboratory in Israel was searched to determine the prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis in immunocompetent children. We observed a 4-fold increase in nontuberculous mycobacteria isolates during 1985-2006, which was attributable mainly to increased detection of Mycobacterium haemophilum starting in 1996.
متن کاملFirst report of cervicofacial lymphadenitis due to Mycobacterium haemophilum in an immunocompromised adult patient.
We report the first case of an immunocompromised adult patient presenting with cervicofacial lymphadenitis due to Mycobacterium haemophilum, confirmed using hsp65 gene sequencing and line-probe assays. In resource-limited settings, especially in developing countries, appropriate culture methods and rapid molecular diagnostic tools such as hsp65 gene sequencing for identification of this organis...
متن کاملAcute Cervical Lymphadenitis Caused by Mycobacterium florentinum
To the Editor: The incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) lymphadenitis appears to be rising, likely because of improved diagnostic techniques. Mycobacterium avi-um-intracellulare is the most common etiologic agent of NTM lymphadenitis in children (1,2). Newer diagnostic methods, including DNA sequencing, have identifi ed cervical adenitis secondary to other slow-growing species (M. le...
