We highlight the first case of pulmonary infection by <jats:italic>Mycobacterium riyadhense<\/jats:italic> in United Arab Emirates (UAE). A 44-year-old female presented with chronic productive cough; a bronchial breathing pattern was appreciated on auscultation of her right upper lung. She was treated multiple times with allergic medications and antibiotics. Thorough investigations revealed <jats:italic>Mycobacterium riyadhense<\/jats:italic> and antitubercular drugs were started, eventually she was cured, however she had multiple relapses later. This case report holds a significant potential to make considerable contribution to the diagnosis of NTM, primarily because it presents the first documented case in UAE, as well as insights on how to address possible similar cases in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2024.1399381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]],"date-time":"2024-08-22T16:24:30Z","timestamp":1724343870000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Pulmonary infection by Mycobacterium riyadhense: first case report in United Arab Emirates"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Batool A.","family":"Sawan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leen O.","family":"Saleh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dina Z.","family":"Al Shaltouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad A.","family":"Sawan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shefa","family":"Gawish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samar","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julio","family":"Gomez-Seco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael E.","family":"Otim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1732","DOI":"10.3201\/eid2310.161430","article-title":"Mycobacterium riyadhense in Saudi Arabia","volume":"23","author":"Varghese","year":"2017","journal-title":"Emerg Infect Dis"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"620","DOI":"10.15537\/smj.2015.5.11226","article-title":"Mycobacterium riyadhense infections","volume":"36","author":"Saad","year":"2015","journal-title":"Saudi Med J"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1093\/nargab\/lqab070","article-title":"Insights into the ancestry evolution of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex from analysis of Mycobacterium riyadhense","volume":"3","author":"Guan","year":"2021","journal-title":"NAR Genom Bioinform"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.4046\/trd.2018.0026","article-title":"Infection source and epidemiology of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease","volume":"82","author":"Jeon","year":"2019","journal-title":"Tuberc Respir Dis"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"176","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1801.110751","article-title":"Mycobacterium riyadhense pulmonary infection, France and Bahrain","volume":"18","author":"Godreuil","year":"2012","journal-title":"Emerg Infect Dis"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"298","DOI":"10.3343\/alm.2012.32.4.298","article-title":"Lung infection caused by Mycobacterium riyadhense confused with Mycobacterium tuberculosis: the first case in Korea","volume":"32","author":"Choi","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ann Lab Med"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"285","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jiph.2018.05.006","article-title":"Mycobacterium riyadhense as the opportunistic infection that lead to HIV diagnosis: a report of 2 cases and literature review","volume":"12","author":"Alenazi","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Infect Public Health"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"307","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.01536-09","article-title":"Commercial DNA probes for mycobacteria incorrectly identify a number of less frequently encountered species","volume":"48","author":"Tortoli","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Clin Microbiol"}],"container-title":["Frontiers in Medicine"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fmed.2024.1399381\/full","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]],"date-time":"2024-08-22T16:24:49Z","timestamp":1724343889000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fmed.2024.1399381\/full"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,21]]},"references-count":8,"alternative-id":["10.3389\/fmed.2024.1399381"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fmed.2024.1399381","relation":{},"ISSN":["2296-858X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2296-858X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,21]]},"article-number":"1399381"}}
