Abstract
Mycobacterium seoulense was first isolated and reported in Korea in 2007. We report a rare case of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease caused by M. seoulense. A woman in her mid-90s was referred to our hospital due to bloody sputum. She had medical histories of chronic heart failure and chemoradiotherapy for right small cell lung carcinoma. Chest computed tomography showed a consolidation on the mediastinal side of the right lung following radiotherapy and nodules with bronchiectasis of the right upper and middle lobes. Acid-fast culture tests of sputum were positive for M. seoulense. We are currently treating her with tranexamic acid and carbazochrome sodium sulfonate and conducting careful follow-up. M. seoulense infection may need to be recognized as one of the notable NTM pulmonary diseases presenting with respiratory symptoms and radiological findings.
