Abstract
This review has as aim, update general concepts on an infectious agent who of certain way in the clinical current area has surprised with his diagnosis and managing. Mycobacterium Kansasii is a bacillus photochromogen of sluggish growth belonging to the bacterial kind Mycobacteriaceae. The disease for Mycobacterium kansasii follows the clinical course similar to the infection for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and presents symptoms jointly to the pulmonary tuberculosis. The most common clinical manifestations associated with the infection for Mycobacterium kansasii are the pulmonary injuries with cavitations of thin walls with predilection for the top lobes, and even injuries of other organs that understand the spread infection. Inside the methods of microbiological diagnosis for this infectious agent we can mention the tint of Ziehl-Neelsen and another variant used since it is the fluorescent tint with auramin-rhodamina. The treatment of the infection for Mycobacterium kansasii understands the usual medicines of the anti-tuberculosis therapy that form a part of the strategy of the directly observed therapy, short-course.
