Abstract

is a newly identified nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and its gene sequence of 16S rRNA shows high homology to that of . We present a case of pulmonary disease progressed to pleuritis after iatrogenic pneumothorax. The patient was initially diagnosed as tuberculosis based on a positive result for the 16S rRNA of an identification kit using scrapings from the cavitary nodule. We need to bear in mind that pneumothorax following bronchoscopy may induce NTM pleuritis and infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mycobacterial pulmonary disease with effusion.
