NONaoko OseKFKaoru FukuyamaYSYusuke Sugiura

Key Points

  • To report the clinical features and treatment outcomes of surgical resection in patients with pulmonary Mycobacterium shigaense infection presenting with hemoptysis.
  • Described two case reports of patients with hemoptysis due to Mycobacterium shigaense infection.
  • Both cases involved surgical resection to manage the infection.
  • Detailed clinical and postoperative outcomes for each patient were documented.
  • Both patients underwent successful surgical resection, leading to resolution of hemoptysis.
  • No complications were reported post-surgery, indicating positive outcomes.
  • These cases represent novel instances of surgical intervention for Mycobacterium shigaense infections.

Abstract

Only a few cases of pulmonary infection have been described, all treated medically. No surgically resected cases or cases presenting with hemoptysis have been reported to date.
