Infections due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
The membership list of genus mycobacterium is ever expanding and it has grown to 95 in year 2003. While leprosy and tuberculosis are specific diseases caused by mycobacteria, other members are usually saprophytes but can be opportunistic and at times deadly pathogens. These other mycobacteria are referred to as atypical mycobacteria, non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) or mycobacteria other than...
متن کاملPanniculitis due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria in two immunocompromised patients.
Inflammation of subcutaneous tissue (panniculitis) may occur in association with tuberculosis, but so far only three cases of non-tuberculous mycobacteria-related lobular panniculitis have been reported. We describe two new cases with marked cellular immunity failure due to hypercorticism. Clinical presentation did not differ significantly from lobular panniculitis of other aetiologies. Histolo...
متن کاملCalcaneal Osteomyelitis due to Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria: A Case Report.
Osteomyelitis is a bone infection caused by bacteria or other germs. Gram-positive cocci are the most common etiological organisms of calcaneal osteomyelitis; whereas, non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are rarely documented. We reported a case of NTM calcaneal osteomyelitis in a 51-year-old female patient. She had been previously treated in many local clinics with multiple local steroid inject...
متن کاملImmunological Markers of Lung Disease Due to Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria
Lung disease due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is a poorly understood condition that is difficult to treat. Treatment remains problematic as few tools are available to help clinicians monitor disease progression or predict treatment outcome. In this study, plasma levels of several inflammatory molecules and the frequency of circulating T cell subsets were measured in patients with NTM l...
متن کاملInfections due to rapidly growing mycobacteria.
Rapidly growing mycobacteria, generally of low virulence, are capable of causing a wide spectrum of infections. Increasing reports in the literature, referral center experiences, and data from the Infectious Disease Society of America Emerging Infectious Disease Network suggest that greater numbers of infections are occurring. Epidemiological study is imperative in understanding the true incide...
