    Author: Abgueguen P, Rabier V, Mahaza C, Warot A, Chennebault JM, Pichard E.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2010 Jan; 66(1):98-100. PubMed ID: 19733030.
    Abstract:
    We present a case report of Mycobacterium malmoense in a 53-year-old white man. The incidence of M. malmoense infections is a rare event compared with other nontuberculous mycobacteria, but it has increased since 1980, especially in northern Europe. Many patients have disposing underlying diseases. In most cases, it is a pulmonary infection. The most frequent used antibiotics are rifampicin (or rifabutin), ethambutol, and clarithromycin.
