PMID 41863766 | PMCID PMC13016003 | DOI 10.3201/eid3203.251418 · Emerging infectious diseases · 2026
We report a case of Mycobacterium riyadhense pulmonary disease in a patient who relocated from Saudi Arabia to Japan. Epidemiologic data and whole-genome analyses of the isolated strains suggested that the infection might have been acquired in Saudi Arabia and persisted, rather than a recent local acquisition in Japan.
