A review of the literature revealed only 13 previous cases of atypical mycobacterial infection of the urinary tract. intracellularis developed, as evidenced by positive cultures of the urine, bone marrow, liver, lymph nodes, cerebrospinal fluid, stool and blood. In 1970 Klotz noted 306 cases of urinary colonization with atypical mycobacteria, none of which was reportedly associated with observable urinary tract disease.8 Thus, we believe that adequate documentation of atypical mycobacterial infection must include either positive culture of genitourinary tissue specimens and/ or positive urine cultures in conjunction with some combination of radiologic, pathologic or laboratory evidence compatible with granulomatous genitourinary disease. Lattimer and Boyes referred to 2 children in whom urine culture yielded group I atypical mycobacteria but no supporting evidence of genitourinary disease was found. 7 In no other reported case was a patient <27 years old.	./cache/cord-253197-9hjvk7p5.txt	./txt/cord-253197-9hjvk7p5.txt
