Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections can cause destructive tenosynovitis of the hand. We report on and discuss the clinical course and distinctive radiologic findings of two patients with hand tenosynovitis secondary to M. marinum and intracellulare infection, which are different from those of the nontuberculous mycobacterial infections reported in the previous literature.

Isolated mycobacterial infections of the genital tract are extremely rare. Here we present a 63-year-old gentleman who developed an isolated non-tuberculous mycobacterial mass in the inferior pole of his right testis, secondary to immunocompromise related to multiple autoimmune and haematological conditions and their treatments.

Phthiocerol dimycocerosates (PDIMs) and phenolic glycolipids (PGLs) are structurally related lipids noncovalently bound to the outer cell wall layer of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae, and several opportunistic mycobacterial human pathogens. PDIMs and PGLs are important effectors of virulence. Elucidation of the biosynthesis of these complex lipids will not only expand our unde...

Purpose: Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) caused by mycobacteria are rare difficult to diagnose treat. Furthermore, systematic treatment protocols for mycobacterial SSTIs have not been established. This study introduces a strategy with radical resection resurfacing using thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) free flaps.Methods: From December 2013 February 2022, 13 patients underwent rec...

Introduction The human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is responsible for most tract infections in infants. Even though currently there are no approved hRSV vaccines newborns or infants, several candidates being developed. rBCG-N-hRSV a vaccine candidate previously shown to be safe phase I clinical trial adults ( clinicaltrials.gov identifier #NCT03213405). Here, secondary immunogenicity ana...

Endometrial biopsy samples derived from 393 patients with assorted gynecological complaints were investigated for mycobacterial infection. By employment of four different techniques, mycobacterial pathogens were detected irrespective of the nature/type of clinical complaint. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was the predominant pathogen detected among the samples investigated.
