Abstract
Mycobacterium szulgai is a rare human pathogen that mainly causes pulmonary diseases. We report the first case of M. szulgai causing septic arthritis in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus. A culture from the joint aspiration was needed to isolate and identify this organism. The patient was treated successfully with ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, and ethambutol.Entities:
