Extended Antibiotic Spacer use in an Infected Total Knee Arthroplasty with Mycobacterium intracellulare – A Case Report [PDF]
Introduction: Mycobacterium infections are a rare but devastating cause of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Most cases of non-tuberculous mycobacteria infections occur in immunocompromised hosts, a population increasing with the use of immunosuppressive

Mycobacterium intracellulare‐Induced Flexor Tenosynovitis of the Forearm [PDF]
ABSTRACT We herein document a clinically challenging case of Mycobacterium intracellulare tenosynovitis in an immunocompromised patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosing nontuberculous mycobacterial tenosynovitis is often challenging because it often mimics rheumatoid arthritis flares.

Mycobacterium Intracellulare Infection of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint in a Patient With Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report [PDF]
Background: Nontuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) infections affecting musculoskeletal structures are rare, particularly in patients with well‐controlled rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This case is reported to highlight the potential risk of focal tenosynovitis due to Mycobacterium intracellulare following intra‐articular glucocorticoid injection.

Genomic insights and functional adaptation of Mycobacterium intracellulare strains isolated from patients with inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]
In clinical practice, inappropriate diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) ascribing the disease to Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) and resulting mistreatment has been a challenge for healthcare workers.
