Disseminated Mycobacterium triviale infection: A rare case report and literature review
Abstract
We report a case of disseminated Mycobacterium triviale infection in a 61-year-old male with no significant comorbidities. Definitive pathogen identification was provided by nucleotide matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis. The results of a literature review underscore the critical role of MALDI-TOF MS in increasing the accuracy in detecting the pathogen. A regimen combining rifampin, fluoroquinolone, macrolide, and ethambutol appears to be a viable treatment option.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
