  • Title: [Exclusive surgical treatment of Mycobacterium xenopi infection of a pulmonary cavity].
    Author: Leroy-Terquem E, Bellamy J.
    Journal: Rev Pneumol Clin; 2005 Sep; 61(4 Pt 1):261-3. PubMed ID: 16208190.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of pulmonary infection due to Mycobacterium xenopi was retained in a 48-year-old immunocompetent patient. The lesion was isolated in a peripheral region and was well limited. Exclusive surgical treatment was undertaken. Cure was complete without recurrence at three years. This case illustrates that in certain cases environmental mycobacteriosis with a very limited lesion may respond very well to surgical resection, an interesting alternative to medication.
