Rarely, infections restricted to the lung and lymph nodes have been reported in immunocompetent hosts. We report herein a case of M. celatum pulmonary infection that mimicked pulmonary tuberculosis in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis. The literature was reviewed and clinical features of eight HIV-negative patients with M. celatum infection are discussed. The clinical presentation of M. celatum is indistinguishable from tuberculosis, especially in patients with a previous history of pulmonary tuberculosis. Proper treatment depends on a definitive identification of this pathogen, which requires 16S rDNA sequencing or mycolic acid high performance liquid chromatography analysis. ? 2009 International Society for Infectious Diseases. |
