“…Furthermore, M. fortuitum , known as a rapid‐growing mycobacteria, is found ubiquitously, particularly in tap water. M. fortuitum infections occur only under specific host conditions of the skin and mucosa in the postoperative setting 5 . Further studies are required to determine underlying mechanisms of mycobacterial infections in patients with STAT1‐GOF.…”

The most common species isolated in children are Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC; includes Mycobacterium intracellulare and M. avium), Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium fortuitum, and Mycobacterium marinum. Several new species recently identified by nucleic acid amplification testing but yet cannot be grown by routine culture methods have been isolated in lymph nodes of children with cervical adenitis [2][3][4].M. fortuitum, Mycobacterium chelonae, Mycobacterium smegmatis, and M. abscessus commonly are referred to as "rapidly growing" mycobacteria (RGM), because growth sufficient for identification can be achieved in the laboratory within 3 to 7 days, whereas MAC, Mycobacterium szulgai, and M. marinum usually proliferate in an adequate amount for identification in several weeks. RGM has been associated with infections vastly dispersed in the body such as a wound, bone, soft tissue, pulmonary, central venous catheter, and middle-ear infections. Other mycobacterial strains classified as non-pathogenic have caused infections in immunocompromised hosts, or foreign body infections (Table 60.1) [2,3].When the NTM disease first described Mycobacterium scrofulaceum was the predominant etiological species, but MAC is currently isolated in 70% to 90% of culture-positive NTM lymphadenitis. In Northern and Central Europe, NTM lymphadenitis is most frequently caused by Mycobacterium malmoense. Because of unusual growth requirements (optimal incubation temperature of 30 °C and iron supplementation), the prominence of Mycobacterium haemophilum as a cause of cervical lymphadenitis previously was underestimated, currently, the incidence of Table 60.1 Classification of nontuberculous mycobacterial species causing human disease Rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria Slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria M.
