Mycobacterium neoaurum line-related bacteremia with pulmonary involvement: Case report and review of literature
نویسنده
چکیده
Mycobacterium neoaurum is a rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium which is ubiquitous in nature. While it can cause line related infections in immunocompromised host, case reports of urinary tract infections, cutaneous infections, pulmonary infections, and meningoencephalitis have also been reported. We report the first case of Mycobacterium neoaurum line related bacteremia with concomitant pulmonary involvement. Our patient responded well to a nine week course of antimicrobials after removal of infected central line.

Mycobacterium neoaurum causing prosthetic valve endocarditis: a case report and review of the literature.
Mycobacterium neoaurum is a rare cause of bacteremia, and infection usually occurs in an immunocompromised host in the setting of an indwelling catheter. Prosthetic valve endocarditis due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria typically carries a dismal prognosis; we report a case of M. neoaurum prosthetic valve endocarditis with favorable response to antimicrobial therapy without surgical intervention.
متن کاملBacteremia with an Unusual Pathogen: Mycobacterium neoaurum
Mycobacterium neoaurum (M. neoaurum) is an infrequently encountered cause of infection in humans. It is a member of the rapidly growing mycobacteria family. It predominately afflicts those with a compromised immune status and a chronically indwelling vascular access. Isolation of this organism is challenging yet the advent of 16s ribosomal sequencing paved the way for more sensitive detection. ...

متن کاملPulmonary Infection Caused by Mycobacterium neoaurum: The First Case in Korea
Mycobacterium neoaurum is rapidly growing mycobacteria that can cause human infections. It commonly causes bloodstream infections in immunocompromised hosts, and unlike other mycobacteria species, it rarely causes pulmonary infections. We confirmed the first pulmonary infection case in Korea caused by M. neoaurum using full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Both previously reported cases of M. neoaurum infection inbe noted that the biochemical description of M. neoaurum has varied in the literature depending on the strains being evaluated [1, 7, 8]; for volved infection of long-term indwelling Hickman catheters in immunocompromised hosts [2, 3]. One patient had a history of the case described herein as well as the two previously reported cases, id...
