Vlc. White et al., Transverse myelopathy and radiculomyelopathy associated with pulmonary atypical Mycobacterium infections, THORAX, 56(2), 2001, pp. 158-160
Myelopathy is a well recognised but rare association with Mycobacterium tub
erculosis infection, but has not been described with atypical mycobacteria.
We report two cases of disabling myelopathy in association with pulmonary
infection by Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium malmoense; the myelop
athy is presumed to be a para-infectious phenomenon. (Thorax 2001;56:158-16
