Mycobacterium simiae infection in an immunocompetent patient, with DNA analyses verification

Mycobacterium simiae, atipik bir mikobakteridir. Genellikle, bağışıklık sistemi AIDS gibi bir nedenle baskılanmayan kişilerde hastalık oluşturmaz. Biz de bağışıklık sistemi baskılanmamış, geçirilmiş tüberküloz öyküsü olan bir kadın olguda, M. simiae nedeniyle pulmoner infeksiyon tablosunu sizlerle paylaşmak istedik.

Bağışıklığı baskılanmamış olguda, DNA analizi ile doğrulanmış Mycobacterium simiae infeksiyonu

Mycobacterium simiae is a non-tuberculosis mycobacterium that does commonly cause clinical disease in immunocompromised patients with or without AIDS. We describe a case of M. simiae pulmonary infection in a patient without immunodeficiency syndrome, who had a history of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections.
