The tough process of unmasking the slow-growing mycobacterium: case report of Mycobacterium microti infection

Mycobacterium microti belongs to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). It can cause pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis in humans. Compared to M. tuberculosis , which is the most prevalent subspecies of the MTBC, M. microti infection has a different etiology. Moreover, establishing th...

description Mycobacterium microti belongs to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). It can cause pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis in humans. Compared to M. tuberculosis , which is the most prevalent subspecies of the MTBC, M. microti infection has a different etiology. Moreover, establishing the diagnosis with conventional bacteriology can be difficult. We will illustrate this with a case of an extrapulmonary tuberculosis of the hip caused by M .microti in an immunocompetent patient in The Netherlands.
