MEDEROS, Lilian M. et al. Lymphadenitis caused by Mycobacterium malmoense in HIV infected patient . Rev. chil. infectol. [online]. 2004, vol.21, n.3, pp. 229-231. ISSN 0716-1018.  doi: 10.4067/S0716-10182004000300007.

We report the first Cuban case of mycobacteriosis caused by Mycobacterium malmoense in an HIV infected patient who developed submandibular ulcerative adenopathies. Culture of clinical samples yielded a non-pigmented, slowly growing mycobacteria strain that was classified in the Runyon Group I. The identification was complemented by biochemical tests and analysis of mycolic acid fractions
