Mixed infection of three nontuberculous mycobacteria species identified by metagenomic next-generation sequencing in a patient with peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis: a rare case report and literature review

Mixed infection of three nontuberculous mycobacteria species identified by metagenomic next-generation sequencing in a patient with peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis: a rare case report and literature review

Abstract Background Peritonitis caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is an infrequent but important complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). There has been no report of mixed infections with multiple NTM. Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) caused by Mycobac...
