abstract={<i>Mycobacterium gordonae</i> is a least pathogenic mycobacterium and a rare cause of infectionin human beings [1]. We report a case of 59 year old male with fever, cough, SOB and radiographic features of persistent left upper lobe consolidation/atelectasis with left hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. <i>Mycobacterium gordonae</i> was isolated by DNA probe on bronchoalveolar lavage. He was observed without any active treatment for mycobacteria. He healed with minimal scarring of the lung. <i>Mycobacterium gordonae</i> can cause clinically significant pulmonary infection but the chances of it being just a contaminant should also be considered [1,2,6].},
