A clinical comparison between Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare infections.
Susceptibility, clinical features, and response to treatment were compared between 29 cases of Mycobacterium avium infection and 43 cases of Mycobacterium intracellulare infection detected in the Nagasaki (Japan) area and identified by a DNA probe method. In vitro susceptibility of two species to antituberculous agents was determined by a microdilution method, and M avium was more resistant to ...
متن کاملMycobacterium Avium-intracellulare Sinusitis.
M ycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI) sinusitis is rarely diagnosed. There are only nine previous cases documented in the literature, most of which are in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Awareness of MAI sinusitis may prove valuable to the practicing otolaryngologist, and an elevated index of suspicion is necessary in all immunocompromised patients with sinusitis, ...
متن کاملThin-Section CT Findings of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Diseases: Comparison Between Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Complex and Mycobacterium abscessus Infection
We aimed to compare the CT findings of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary diseases caused by Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium abscessus. Two chest radiologists analyzed retrospectively the thin-section CT findings of 51 patients with MAC and 36 with M. abscessus infection in terms of patterns and forms of lung lesions. No significant difference was found be...
متن کاملRadiology of pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex.
Although the radiographic appearance of pulmonary MAC infection in the immunocompetent host can be varied, there are several generalizations that can be made. The classic radiographic appearance is indistinguishable from that of pulmonary tuberculosis. The classic form is seen most commonly in males and is typically associated with other predisposing diseases, especially chronic obstructive pul...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies against Mycobacterium avium/intracellulare.
Ten hybridoma cell lines prodacing monoclonaI antibodies (Mabs) against M. avium/intracellulare (Mai) serotype 8 were raised by the fusion of BALB/c mouse myeloma cells (SPZ) to spleen cells from immunized BALB/c mice. The specificity of the monoclonal antibodies was defined using their differing abilities to bind to sonicates from a range of mycobacterial species and strains. Tbe Mabs showed s...
