Features of cystic fibrosis development in a patient with coinfection by Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (clinical case report)

The article presents a clinical case describing a favorable clinical outcome of mycobacterial infection and pulmonary tuberculosis caused by coinfection of M. abscessus and M. tuberculosis in a patient with pulmonary manifestations of cystic fibrosis one year after delivery. This outcome was achieved due to timely diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection in the patient with cystic fibrosis. Due to the development of molecular identification of mycobacteria species in the Tomsk region, mycobacterial lung disease was verified, which was challenging in the recent past. Previously, all cases with microscopic examination results positive for mycobacteria were classified as tuberculosis.
