Abstract

RUIZ PEREZ, Aroldo  and  MEDEROS CUERVO, Lilian M.. Micobacteriosis por Mycobacterium gordonae. Primer caso reportado en Cuba. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1999, vol.51, n.2, pp.128-129. ISSN 0375-0760.

Since 1990, repeated samples of a positive HIV patient were studied, who had skin lesions with ulcers and scabs, dirty bottom and prominent edges; hyperergic Mantoux and very low CD levels. As a result, a slowly growing pigmented strain was isolated and classified as Mycobacterium gordonae by using standard as well as alternative bacteriological studies such as the mycobacterial mycolic acid analysis. The patient was treated with 4 antibacilar drugs and 6 weeks after the starting of the treatment, all reported skin lesions had disappeared.

Keywords : MICOBACTERIUM INFECTIONS [diagnosis]; MICOBACTERIUM INFECTIONS [therapy]; MICOBACTERIUM ATYPICAL; HIV SEROPOSITIVITY.
