Disseminated Mycobacterium genavense Infection in Patient with Adult-Onset Immunodeficiency.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of disseminated Mycobacterium genavense infection resulting from neutralizing anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies in the patient. We identified M. genavense targeting the hsp65 gene in an aspiration specimen of the lymph node. Adult-onset immunodeficiency caused by neutralizing anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies, in addition to HIV infection, can lead to disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial infection.

Hodgkin Lymphoma after Disseminated Mycobacterium genavense Infection, Germany.

Project description:Mycobacterium genavense infection, a rare nontuberculous mycobacteria infection, occurs in heavily immunocompromised patients (i.e., those with advanced HIV disease, genetic disorders, or acquired immunologic disorders and those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy). We report a case of disseminated M. genavense infection preceding Hodgkin lymphoma in a patient without obvious risk factors for this infection.

Disseminated Mycobacterium lentiflavum infection in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient.

Project description:We report the first case of Mycobacterium lentiflavum disseminated infection in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient. Conventional identification procedures failed to identify the mycobacterial strain, but sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene led to the species identification. Furthermore, we describe here the analysis of the 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer sequence of M. lentiflavum.

Acquired and Innate Immunity Impairment and Severe Disseminated <i>Mycobacterium genavense</i> Infection in a Patient With a NF-?B1 Deficiency.

Project description:Background: NF-?B1 is a master regulator of both acquired and innate responses. NFKB1 loss-of-function mutations elicit a wide clinical phenotype with asymptomatic individuals at one end of the spectrum and patients with common variable immunodeficiency, combined immunodeficiency or autoinflammation at the other. Impairment of acquired and innate immunity and disseminated Mycobacterium genavense infection expands the clinical and immunological phenotype of NF-?B1 deficiency. Objective: Functional and molecular characterization of a patient with a novel phenotype of NF-?B1 deficiency. Methods: Circulating T, B, dendritic cell subsets and innate or unconventional T-cells were quantified. The cytokine production in stimulated whole blood samples was assessed and molecular characterization by next generation sequencing and gene expression assays were also performed. Results: We report a patient presenting with features of combined immunodeficiency (CID) and disseminated Mycobacterium genavense infection. Sequencing of genomic DNA identified a novel synonymous mutation (c.705G > A) in NFKB1 gene which resulted in exon 8 skipping and haploinsufficiency of the NF-?B1 subunit p50. The susceptibility to atypical mycobacterial infection has not been previously reported and may be the result of a dendritic cell deficiency. A selective deficiency of circulating follicular helper T (cTFH) cells responsible for mediating the differentiation of naive B cells into memory and plasma cells was also present in the patient. It could affect the maturation of innate or unconventional T cells where NF-?B1 could also be involved. Conclusion: These findings showed that the role of NF-?B1 in humans could be critical for the development of acquired and innate immunity and further highlights the role of human T cells in anti-mycobacterial immunity.

First case of disseminated Mycobacterium bolletii infection in a young adult patient.

Project description:Mycobacterium bolletii is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium first characterized in 2006. Here, we report a case of disseminated infection caused by M. bolletii in a young adult patient. To our knowledge, this is the first case of disseminated M. bolletii infection in an otherwise healthy young adult.

Mycobacterium genavense infection in two species of captive snakes.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Mycobacterium is an important zoonotic agent with companion, livestock and wildlife animals reportedly playing a role as reservoirs. Although its association with reptiles has been described, the disease cycle remains to be fully established, particularly in snakes. Accordingly, this study aimed to report the occurrence of mycobacteriosis with clinical pneumonia in one exotic python snake (Python molurus) and one native green snake (Philodryas olfersii) from the Sorocaba Zoo, São Paulo state, Brazil. METHODS:Diagnosis was based on necropsy, histopathological examination, Ziehl-Neelsen stain and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:Using a nested PCR followed by DNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, the causative Mycobacterium species was identified as Mycobacterium genavense. CONCLUSION:Mycobacterium genavense is an infectious zoonotic agent of animal and public health concerns.

Disseminated infection with Mycobacterium tilburgii in a male immunocompromised patient.

Project description:Mycobacterium tilburgii is a nonculturable nontuberculous mycobacterium identifiable only by molecular methods. We report a case of disseminated M. tilburgii infection illustrating the importance of 16S rRNA gene sequencing to determine the responsible mycobacterial pathogen and the difficulties in tailoring antimycobacterial treatment in the absence of a culturable organism.

Mesenterial involvement of Mycobacterium genavense infection: hard to find, hard to treat.

Project description:Mycobacterium genavense is a rare pathogen affecting severely immunosuppressed patients. We report the case of persistent relapsing M. genavense infection in a 48-year-old African man with a positive diagnosis of HIV infection. Despite being under effective antiretroviral therapy with partial immune reconstitution, he developed irreversible long-term abdominal complications, possibly due to persistent M. genavense infection and sustained inflammation. Case management consists of individual risk assessment, close follow-up and personalised treatment strategies concerning the duration of antimycobacterial therapy and early application of steroids. Patients with profound immunosuppression, a high viral load at HIV diagnosis and a high burden of M. genavense, appear to be at higher risk. The pathogenicity of this complication is not well known and its optimal management has still to be determined.

Disseminated infection by Mycobacterium sherrisii and Histoplasma capsulatum in an African HIV-infected patient.

Project description:Mycobacterium sherrisii is a new species of opportunistic, slow-growing, non-tuberculous Mycobacterium closely related to Mycobacterium simiae that can currently be identified with the sequence of 16S rARN gene and the heat-shock protein 65. Few cases of patients infected by this Mycobacterium have been reported and all of them were associated with human immunodeficiency virus or other immunosuppressive conditions. Clinical management is complex, because there is not a clear correlation between the in vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing and the patient's clinical outcome.

Disseminated Mycobacterium scrofulaceum Infection in an Immunocompetent Host.

Project description:A 56-year-old woman, without any immunocompromising diseases, was referred to our hospital because of a recurrence of pyogenic spondylitis. Computed tomography revealed multiple osteolytic changes in the whole body. Vertebral magnetic resonance imaging revealed osteomyelitis and spondylitis. Mycobacterium scrofulaceum was detected in sputum cultures, in abscesses from the right knee, and in a subcutaneous forehead abscess. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with disseminated Mycobacterium scrofulaceum infection. The patient was treated with rifampicin, ethambutol, and clarithromycin, which resulted in symptomatic relief and radiological improvement. We herein report a rare case of disseminated Mycobacterium scrofulaceum infection in an immunocompetent host.
