Abstract
Pneumoconiosis is a chronic lung disease, caused by the inhalation of toxins that produces lung tissue damage; one type of pneumoconiosis is silicoanthracosis. In this reported case, we described an immunocompetent patient that has a pulmonary infection by Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum at a primary care center in Bogotá, Colombia; being an unusual case.
