Abstract

This paper presents the first clinical case of combined pulmonary and abdominal M. genavense infection in an otherwise healthy, immunocompetent child with an early treatment response and full recovery. The favorable outcome was determined by rapid microbiological diagnosis using up-to-date diagnostic methods followed by targeted antimicrobial therapy.
