متن کاملNational atypical mycobacteria survey, 2000.
Infections with atypical mycobacteria in Australia during 2000 occurred at a rate of 1.8 cases per 100,000 population. The main sites of disease were the respiratory tract, soft tissue, and the lymphatics. The Mycobacterium avium complex was the most common group of mycobacteria isolated from respiratory, lymphatic sites, and blood. The rapidly growing mycobacteria, predominantly the M. fortuit...
متن کاملMorphological manifestations of the atypical mycobacteriosis caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria in the HIV infected patients.
Infection with atypical mycobacteria (MAC) is a well-known complication of AIDS that typically occurs only in people with advanced immunodeficiency. We studied tissues from 13 patients with HIV and atypical mycobacterial infection who died in St Petersburg Russia from 2009-2012. Three patterns of disease were identified that suggest effects of host resistance. The first pattern was in people pa...
