Abstract
#Mycobacteriummalmoense is a rare infection with increasing
prevalence since its first reported cases. It is not easy to be
#diagnosed. The
objective of this study was to report our experience in managing this
infection. A total of 24 cases were included from Jordan and United Arab
Emirates. Our finding showed that in M. malmoense thick-walled
cavitating lesions are common especially in the upper lobes. In our
series,
there was almost equal distribution of unilateral and bilateral disease.
Underlying fibrosis was commonly present with pleural effusions rarely
seen. Middle and lower lobe involvement was rare. The findings show the
diverse range of #radiologicalappearances seen in patients with
#nontuberculous
mycobacterial infections. Taken together, although the appearances are
non-specific, an awareness of the varied presentations of
these infections is important in order to expedite the correct #diagnosis
and the commencement of appropriate #therapy.
