Katherine M CliffordJohn D SzumowskiPublished in: Open forum infectious diseases (2020)
We describe a case of a 19-year-old female presenting with Mycobacterium bovis meningitis, a rarely encountered infection. We discuss the use of pyrosequencing to aid in prompt diagnosis of M. bovis infection, as well as treatment strategies and challenges given the organism's intrinsic resistance to pyrazinamide.
