Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Diseases in Immunocompetent Patients
Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are an increasingly recognized cause of chronic lung disease in immunocompetent adults, and the M. avium complex, M. kansasii, and a rapidly growing mycobacteria such as M. abscessus, M. fortuitum, and M. chelonae account for most of the pathogens involved. Because the clinical features of NTM disease are not distinguishable from those of tuberculos...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 2 polymorphisms and nontuberculous mycobacterial lung diseases.
To investigate the occurrence of the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) polymorphisms in patients with pulmonary disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), TLR2 Arg677Trp and Arg753Gln polymorphisms were examined. TLR2 polymorphisms do not appear to be responsible for host susceptibility to NTM lung disease, at least in the Korean population.
متن کاملGuidelines for surgical therapy for pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases.
Policy 1. The core of surgical therapy for pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases is lung resection. Some have reported cavernostomy performed for the purpose of reducing bacterial quantities, whereas there have been no reports on outcomes of thoracoplasty or a combination of cavernostomy +muscle plombage+thoracoplasty for cavity collapse. 2. Surgical therapy is intended to control th...
متن کاملNontuberculous mycobacterial osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) can have severe consequences and a poor prognosis. Physicians therefore need to be alert to this condition, especially in immunocompromised patients. Although the pathogenesis of NTM osteomyelitis is still unclear, studies in immunodeficient individuals have revealed close relationships between NTM osteomyelitis and defects associated wi...
متن کاملNontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious and transmissible disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and closely related mycobacterial species (M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti). These species, obligate pathogens, compose what is known as the M. tuberculosis complex. Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) species are mycobacterial species other than those belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculo...
