Chronic Large Non Healing Ulcer: Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterial Infection of the Laryngopharynx
We describe a case of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection of the larynx in a previously well, immunocompetent young woman. Laryngeal mycobacterial infection is rare and currently accounts for less than 1% of all cases. A diagnostic dilemma often occurs because it may mimic laryngeal carcinoma, chronic laryngitis, or laryngeal candidiasis. This case highlights the importance of considering n...

We reviewed 19 children (12 girls and seven boys) with non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis to define likely...
متن کاملNon-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenopathy.
The surgical and antimicrobial treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenopathy in 17 children was reviewed. Node excision was curative, but most nodes were still incised leaving discharging lesions. Standard antituberculous treatment was unhelpful, but a new macrolide/quinolone combination appeared to be effective in three cases.
متن کاملNon-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infection in the immunocompetent host.
Throughout much of the world, the incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infections in immunocompetent hosts is on the rise. These organisms are widespread in the natural environment; the explanation for what appears to be an increased susceptibility among human hosts is uncertain. Among more than 120 known species, the most common pathogenic isolate in the USA is Mycobacterium av...
