چکیده
In 1987, Mycobacterium haemophilum was isolated from cutaneous lesions, a lymph node, and the right eye of a male patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and also from a cervical lymph node in a 3-year-old girl. These two cases are the first M. haemophilum infections to be reported in Canada.

As acid-fast staining cannot distinguish NTM from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and as skin culture for M. haemophilum is not performed routinely, the diagnosis of M. haemophilum infection in Thailand is rarely made. CASE PRESENTATION Between 2006 and 2009, five patients w...
