Mycobacterium chelonii disease misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and leprosy misdiagnosed as non tuberculous mycobacterial disease-case analysis

Abstract

Abstract: Microscopic examination of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smears is the main diagnostic technique for diagnosing Tuberculosis (TB) in most countries. However, AFB smear positive will cause misdiagnosis if it is used alone. We retrospective analyzed and summarized the treatment process of Mycobacterial disease of tortoise, which has long been misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and leprosy misdiagnosed as non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD), using the two generation sequencing technology combined with other tests simultaneously. What’s more, timely conduct mycobacterium culture and strain identification to diagnose the disease and change treatment process. Provide help for clinical treatment and avoid missed diagnosis, misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

Key words: Acid-fast bacilli, Tuberculosis, Non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease, Leprosy, Misdiagnosis
