Abstract
Mycobacterium shinjukuense is a nontuberculous mycobacterium, and standard treatment for the infection has not been established. We report two cases of M. shinjukuense pulmonary disease in which two patients were treated with clarithromycin (CAM), rifampicin (RFP), and ethambutol (EB). Based on computed tomography (CT) findings, the patients experienced improvement with treatment. Reports of multiple cases of M. shinjukuense pulmonary disease treated with clarithromycin, rifampicin, and ethambutol are valuable, and they suggest that this regimen may be a new treatment option.
