Mycobacterium chelonae empyema in an immunocompetent patient [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2008
Thoracic empyema caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) and complicated with bronchopleural fistula is rarely reported, especially in immunocompetent patients. A 53-year-old healthy woman presented initially with a productive cough and intermittent fever. The patient received a complete treatment course following an initial diagnosis of pulmonary
