摘要: A 13-year-old patient with cystic fibrosis was diagnosed anaplastic large cell lymphoma. At the same time colonization Mycobacterium chelonae detected in sputum cultures. Despite massive immunosuppression, did not show evidence of mycobacterial invasive disease. Colonisation persisted for 18 months after discontinuation chemotherapy and 6 years thereafter. This case highlights dilemma differentiating between colonisation infection if mycobacteria are found CF samples.
