Abstract
Molecular genetic techniques have increased the number of species recognize
d within the genus Mycobacterium. The clinical significance of these is unc
ertain and their pathogenic potential has still to be proven. We describe h
ere a case of mycobacterial lymphadenitis in a Swedish boy, which supports
the role of M. interjectum as a human pathogen.
