Abstract

A 52-year-old woman with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia was diagnosed with Mycobacterium massiliense pneumonia after 4 months of chemotherapy. She developed M. massiliense bacteremia 1 month later. This is the first report of a proven case of M. massiliense bacteremia as a consequence of M. massiliense pneumonia.
