MULTIPLE BONE LESIONS CAUSED BY AVIAN-BATTEY MYCOBACTERIA

Multiple bone lesions caused by Avian-Battey mycobacteria. Report of a case.

A boy aged fourteen years presented in May 1963 with a left axillary abscess. This had developed seven weeks before, four days after his left hand had been bitten by a pet rabbit, which was kept in an enclosure with hens. The abscess was incised but the pus was not cultared.

Infection with the avian-Battey group of mycobacteria in England and Wales.

Of 109 cases in England and Wales in which mycobacteria of the avian-Battey group were isolated from man 89 were considered genuine infections (including 32 with Mycobacterium avium) and six were doubtful. Almost half the significant cases were lung infections in men in dusty occupations, mostly coal miners with pneumoconiosis, and just over a quarter were non-pulmonary, mostly cervical adeniti...

Lung disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Although the incidence of tuberculosis has reduced in developed countries, there is a growing interest in nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) as a cause of lung disease. However, NTM are a heterogeneous group and most of the data come from only three species: Mycobacterium avium complex, Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium abscessus. Still, information about these three spe...
