Mycobacterium simiae is a non-tuberculosis mycobacterium that does commonly cause clinical disease in immunocompromised patients with or without AIDS. We describe a case of M. simiae pulmonary infection in a patient without immunodeficiency syndrome, who had a history of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections.
