Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2002 Oct;21(10):982-4. doi: 10.1097/00006454-200210000-00022.

Abstract

A lymph node excision was performed on a 2-year-old child with right submandibular swelling not responding to oral cefaclor therapy. Histology revealed granulomatous, partly necrotizing lymphadenitis and a large number of acid-fast bacilli subsequently identified by molecular techniques as Mycobacterium bohemicum.
