Two cases of Mycobacterium haemophilum infection in Canada

Abstract

In 1987, Mycobacterium haemophilum was isolated from cutaneous lesions, a lymph node, and the right eye of a male patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and also from a cervical lymph node in a 3-year-old girl. These two cases are the first M. haemophilum infections to be reported in Canada.
