RESUMO

Bacteremic pneumonia caused by Mycobacterium simiae in non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients has rarely been reported. We describe a non-HIV-infected adult with refractory bacteremia, osteomyelitis, and colonization of M. simiae in the respiratory tract who subsequently developed fatal bacteremic pneumonia. The isolate was confirmed as M. simiae by 16S rRNA gene analysis.
