Abstract
We reported a case of first reported pulmonary infection due to Mycobacterium fortuitum (M. fortuitum) with massive hemoptysis, successfully treated by bronchial artery embolization (BAE). A 78-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of massive hemoptysis. A biochemical examination and DNA/DNA hybridization revealed M. fortuitum in the culture of his sputum. He was treated by BAE, and antituberculous agents and levofloxacin. The patient remains well without recurrence more than one and a half years after the admission.
