Abstract

It is not known whether atypical Mycobacterium (AM) causes peritonitis in humans. We described a case of tuberculosis-like peritonitis caused by an AM. Genetic analysis of the biopsy specimens suggested an AM infection. Thus, we concluded that peritonitis in humans can be caused by some AM species as well as by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
