  • Title: Renal infection with Mycobacterium chelonei.
    Author: Becker GJ, Walker RG, Dziukas LJ, Harvey KJ, Valentine R, Kincaid-Smith P.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Med; 1980 Feb; 10(1):44-7. PubMed ID: 6929675.
    Abstract:
    A case of renal infection with Mycobacterium chelonei is described. The infection probably occurred via haematogenous spread from an infected arteriovenous shunt in a uraemic woman. Prolonged treatment with intravenous cefoxitin combined with oral erythromycin and rifampicin eradicated the organism from the urine. Although renal function stabilised for one year, gradual deterioration to end-stage renal failure occurred.
