Eritema nudoso como primera manifestación de adenitis por Mycobacterium lentiflavum

Erythema nodosum due to Mycobacterium abscessus infection complicating autologous fat transfer

“…To our knowledge, this is the first case to describe M. abscessus causing EN. A total of six prior cases of EN have been reported in association with NTM, including mycobacterium fortuitum group, mycobacterium avium complex ( Budden et al, 2007 , Manckoundia et al, 2001 ), M. lentiflavum ( Gonzalez-Granado et al, 2009 ) , and M. marinum ( Garty, 1991 ).…”

Comparison of Mycobacterium lentiflavum and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Complex Lymphadenitis

“…7 Our study shows an increase in M. lentiflavum identification in recent years, being the most common mycobacteria isolated (48%) in the last 5 years. Most published cases of M. lentiflavum lymphadenitis have been described in italy, 15,17,19 australia 23,25 and Spain, 16,18,20,21 whereas in other countries, such as the netherlands or israel, this mycobacteria is rarely isolated. 25 therefore, the change that we are describing here may also be taking place in other areas of the world.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] in many published series, Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MaC) is the predominant pathogen in ntM lymphadenitis, while Mycobacterium lentiflavum is an unusual finding. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] We have observed an increased number of M. lentiflavum lymphadenitis in our area in the last few years. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] We have observed an increased number of M. lentiflavum lymphadenitis in our area in the last few years.…”
