| Core Tip |
Mycobacterium paragordonae (M. paragordonae), a slow-growing, acid-resistant mycobacterial species. We present herein, a 53-year-old patient who presented with fever and low back pain. Lumbar nuclear magnetic resonance imaging revealed the destruction of the lumbar vertebra with peripheral abscess formation. After anti-infective and diagnostic anti-tuberculosis treatment, the patient had no further fever, but the back pain was not relieved. Postoperatively, the necrotic material was sent for necropsy, and all tests related to tuberculosis were negative. The necrotic tissue specimens were subjected to metagenomic next-generation sequencing which indicated M. paragordonae. Finally, the infecting pathogen was identified, and the treatment plan was adjusted. The patient was in good condition after the follow-up. |
