Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are an important cause of cervicofacial lymphadenitis in children. A dramatic increase has been seen in confirmed cases of NTM lymphadenitis in San Diego in the past few years. This report encompasses a span of 2 years 9 months, during which 22 children had confirmed NTM infection and another 14 had necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis in whom the specific diagnosis of NTM could not be made. This apparent increase in the prevalence of NTM as compared to previous reports in the literature suggests a possible endemic risk for NTM in the San Diego area. These cases are reviewed and our diagnostic and surgical approach to possible NTM infection is described. We also discuss possible explanations for the increasing occurrence of NTM in the San Diego area.
