Abstract
Seven weeks after being kicked in the face by a cow, a 34-year-old male patient developed a posttraumatic mycobacterial lymphadenitis. A rapidly growing mycobacterial isolate cultured from a surgically drained lymphadenitis pus specimen was identified as Mycobacterium smegmatis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry and a combination of ITS-, hsp65-, and 16S rRNA-DNA sequence analysis, but as Mycobacterium fortuitum complex using the commercial INNO-LiPA Mycobacteria v2 line probe assay. As it is unclear if the misidentification of this strain is an exception, more research is required.
