“…[11] A patient diagnosed with septic arthritis was due to NTM infection as Mycobacterium intracellulare was isolated by culture and showed an excellent prognosis with antimycobacterial treatment.

Background: Intestinal nontuberculous mycobacteriosis due to nontuberculous mycobacteria infection has clinical manifestations similar to intestinal tuberculosis and inflammatory bowel disease, causing difficulties in clinical diagnosis. Case presentation: A 42-year-old male patient was admitted to the Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital of Jilin University in June 2021 for diarrhea and intermittent hematochezia since April 2021. He was diagnosed with inflammatory intestinal disease by colonoscopy and midtransverse colon biopsy. However, the symptoms did not relieve after 2 months of mesalazine treatment. In August 2021, the patient was admitted to the outpatient department for suspected “intestinal tuberculosis.” A diagnosis of intestinal nontuberculous mycobacteriosis was confirmed based on pathology and nucleotide-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). After 2 weeks of antimycobacterial therapy, the patient’s diarrhea was relieved, and hematochezia no longer appeared. In November 2021, recolonoscopy revealed scattered erosions and ulcers in ileocecal valve and ascending colon, while both nucleotide-based MALDI-TOF MS and next-generation sequencing could still detect Mycobacterium intracellulare. Conclusion: This study reported a patient with an intestinal nontuberculous mycobacteriosis diagnosed by colonoscopy biopsy and nucleotide-based MALDI-TOF MS, and symptoms were relieved after antimycobacterial treatment.
