چکیده انگلیسی
Pulmonary infection due to Mycobacterium heckeshornense (M. heckeshornense) in healthy adults without underlying diseases is very rare and optimal treatments have not yet been established. A 39-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for further examinations following the identification of a pulmonary cavitary nodule. Acid-fast bacilli were cultured from specimens obtained by bronchofiberscopy, and identified with M. heckeshornense using nucleotide sequencing. Antimycobacterial chemotherapy was effective temporarily, while the nodular lesion subsequently worsened. The patient underwent lobectomy and has not relapsed thus far. A lung specimen showed marked granulomatous inflammation with extensive caseous necrosis and the preservation of some parts of alveolar septa within caseous necrosis, indicating an exudative process and resistance to chemotherapy. M. heckeshornense is strongly pathogenic and switching to surgical intervention needs to be considered when chemotherapy is insufficient.
