ABSTRACT
Mycobacterium massiliense is an emerging pathogen that is increasingly reported as a causative agent occurring during medical procedures, at surgical sites, and intramuscularly [1]. Although previously classified as part of M. abscessus, M. massiliense has recently been identified as a new species of rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [1,3] via a comparative sequence analysis of rpoB and hsp65 [3,5]. However, the clinical manifestations of M. massiliense have not been well characterized. We report here in a case of recurrent pneumonia for 3 years that improved with antibiotic treatment for M. massiliense in a 37-year-old woman with Sjogren's syndrome. The patient showed a substantial response to treatment with a combination of antimicrobial therapies comprising clarithromycin and amikacin without cefoxitin for 6 months. This is the first report of pulmonary infection of M. massiliense with Sjogren's syndrome in Korea.
