Chronic mycobacterial meningitis due to Mycobacterium chelonae: a case report
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014 We report a case of chronic meningitis due to Mycobacterium chelonae. This organism is a rapidly growing Mycobacterium (RGM) and can be found worldwide in environmental sources such as soil, dust, and water. M. chelonae is an uncommon cause of meningitis;
