Bacteremia due to Mycobacterium massiliense in a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia: case report.
Bacteremia due to Mycobacterium massiliense is rare. We present here the case of a 58-year-old man with chronic myelogenous leukemia complicated by bacteremia caused by M. massiliense. The microorganisms were identified as M. massiliense by sequencing analysis, having initially been misdiagnosed as M. abscessus by DNA-DNA hybridization.
