Abstract

Non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection has increased significantly in recent years, especially in emerging countries. We present the case of a 25-year-old male patient, immunocompetent, with cervical lymphadenopathy, identifying Mycobacterium kumamotonense, a rare species in extrapulmonary forms and with a high drug resistance index.

Keywords: Mycobacterium kumamotonense; Non-tuberculous mycobacteria; cervical lymphadenopathy.
