Misleading Results from Bone Marrows Cultured for Mycobacteria
AUTOR(ES)
Dawson, David J.
RESUMO
Re-evaluation of a previous study dealing with atypical mycobacteria grown from specimens of bone marrow provided strong evidence that the isolates were of no clinical significance. Bone marrow culture should not be undertaken as a diagnostic test for pulmonary atypical mycobacteriosis.
