  • Title: [Mycobacterium fortuitum in patients with chronic renal insufficiency: apropos of 2 cases].
    Author: Viguera J, Oliva JA, Pascual R, Lens XM, Carrió J, Mallafré JM.
    Journal: Enferm Infecc Microbiol Clin; 1990 May; 8(5):286-8. PubMed ID: 2090230.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium fortuitum is a rapidly growing mycobacteria recovered from human infections such as skin, soft tissue, skeletal and pulmonary infectious diseases. We report 2 cases of M. fortuitum isolation from clinical samples from two patients placed on dialysis program. Our clinical findings were: The first, the presence of an abscess in the area of insertion of a CAPD catheter and the second, the detection of a lobar pneumonia in a patient placed on long-term hemodialysis program. We consider this report to be important because of the few reported cases of non tuberculous mycobacterial infections in patients with chronic renal failure.
