Summary
A rare case of pediatric submandibular lymphadenitis caused by Mycobacterium malmoense was treated successfully with surgery. Early identification of this non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is crucial for effective treatment.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Pediatric Infectious Diseases
- Mycobacterial Infections
Background:
- Submandibular lymphadenitis in children can be caused by various pathogens.
- Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized causes of lymphadenitis, particularly in certain geographic regions.
- Mycobacterium malmoense is a known cause of NTM lymphadenitis in Northern Europe.

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
