AbstractMycobacterium seoulense was first isolated and reported in Korea in 2007. We report a rare case of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease caused by M. seoulense. A woman in her mid‐90s was referred to our hospital due to bloody sputum. She had medical histories of chronic heart failure and chemoradiotherapy for right small cell lung carcinoma. Chest computed tomography showed a consolidation on the mediastinal side of the right lung following radiotherapy and nodules with bronchiectasis of the right upper and middle lobes. Acid‐fast culture tests of sputum were positive for M. seoulense. We are currently treating her with tranexamic acid and carbazochrome sodium sulfonate and conducting careful follow‐up. M. seoulense infection may need to be recognized as one of the notable NTM pulmonary diseases presenting with respiratory symptoms and radiological findings.
