Resumen Mycobacterium scrofulaceum es una micobacteria atípica de crecimiento lento que tiene como reservorio el ambiente. De forma ocasional causa enfermedad en humanos. Se presenta el caso de un niño de 10 años de edad con fiebre de cuatro meses de evolución, adenopatías cervicales, torácicas, abdominales e inguinales bilaterales, exantema, dolor abdominal y vómitos; con evidencia concomitante de serología positiva para el VEB y cultivo de los ganglios inguinales izquierdos con crecimiento de M. scrofulaceum. Es la primera comunicación de una infección causada por esta micobacteria en Ecuador, y que particularmente se presentó con un patrón de resistencia inusual.
ABSTRACT
Mycobacterium scrofulaceum is a slow-growing atypical mycobacteria with a reservoir in the environmen, and occasionally it causes disease in humans. The case of a 10-year-old patient with fever of four months of evolution is presented. Symptoms include bilateral adenopathies of neck, thorax, abdomen and inguinal region, rash, abdominal pain and vomiting; in addition, a positive serology for EBV and a culture of the left inguinal ganglia with growth of M. scrofulaceum were evidenced. Thus, this is the first report of human infection caused by the aforementioned mycobacterium in Ecuador, which it was particularly manifested with an unusual pattern of resistance.
