Atypical mycobacteria are environmental saprophytes. Occasionally they may enter human skin through injuries and cause localized infection. Papules, nodules, plaques, ulcers and panniculitis-like lesions are common manifestations. Disseminated infection occurs in immunocompromised patients. Evidence of mycobacterial infection can be obtained by tissue specimens, culture being most important for diagnosis. Because many mycobacteria only grow on special media and at special temperatures it is crucial that clinical suspicion is raised so correct testing is performed. Buruli ulcer caused by M. ulcerans is the most prevalent atypical mycobacteriosis worldwide; its occurrence is restricted to tropical areas. In European countries fish tank granuloma caused by M. marinum is most commonly observed. M. avium-complex, M. kansasii und rapidly growing mycobacteria of M. fortuitum-complex are other atypical mycobacteria that can cause cutaneous infection. Treatment is difficult because many atypical mycobacteria are resistant to common antibiotics.

“…There are reports of Mycobacterium simiae isolation from clinical specimens and different body sites, including the lungs as the most frequent site blood and bone marrow, skin, urine,lymphnode,brain, umbilical cord [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Yet, clinical disease reports are rare.…”

“…Mycobacterium simiae, originally isolated from monkeys in 1965, has been recovered from environmental origins such as soil samples, tap water, water supply and dental unit waterlines in different parts of world such as Israel, Gaza, central Africa, Europe, USA, Cuba and Australia as well [7,[9][10][11]. Although in some cases it may be attributed to the contamination or colonisation of Mycobacterium simiae, there is evidence, albeit rare, of active disease due to Mycobacterium simiae [3-6, 8, 12].…”

There is little information on atypical mycobacterium and human T lymphotropic virus Type I (HTLV-I) co-infection. We present the first case of pulmonary M. simiae infection in co-infection with HTLV-1, confirmed by ELISA antibody test and Western Blot. We discuss the clinical characteristics and laboratory tests of the patient and presumptive immunological relation. We propose that in patients with the HTLV infection and pulmonary symptoms and signs compatible with tuberculosis, evaluation for atypical mycobacteriosis may be recommendable.

“…In Europe, M. simiae has been isolated from 28% of stool specimens from 50 volunteers. In Japan, Mori detected M. simiae in 18% of 49 skin samples and in 8% of umbilical cords of babies by Caesarian section [10]. As this organism is commonly found in nature [11], contamination of cultured material or transient colonization can occur and a single positive culture does not prove the pathogenicity of M. simiae.…”

Summary: Mycobacterium simiae is commonly found in nature and its role as a pathogen has been controversial. A case of disseminated M. simiae infection with blood, pulmonary and cutaneous localization is reported here. The pathogenic role of M. simiae was clearly demonstrated as it was the only organism isolated from sputum, broncho-alveolar lavage fluid, as well as blood and skin tissue. Identification of M. simiae by conventional testing may be difficult. Analysis of fatty and mycolic acid patterns, as performed in this case, is necessary to confirm its identification.
