[Lung infection by Mycobacterium terrae].
Mycobacterium terrae complex encompasses three species of microbacteria that are usually saprophytic and that may occasionally cause disease in humans, particularly in joints and synovial fluid. The literature includes slightly over a dozen cases of pulmonary infection, although none has been described in Spain. We report a case of infection by M. terrae in an immunodepressed patient with no other risk factor. Microbial identification by culture was unexpected and clinical management was difficult due to the absence of an established treatment protocol.
