Successful treatment of rapid growing mycobacterial infections with source control alone: Case series

Rapid growing mycobacteria have been increasingly recognized as pathogens, both in immunocompromised and immunocompetent population, and their incidence has increased over the last decade significantly. Pulmonary infections are the most common, however, any organ can be affected. The treatment of th...
