چکیده
Treatment for patients with pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease includes long, multi-drug, and toxic medication regimens. Surgical resection is an alternative treatment localized or refractory NTM infection. Robot-assisted operations have not been performed routinely in this population.

Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious and transmissible disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and closely related mycobacterial species (M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti). These species, obligate pathogens, compose what is known as the M. tuberculosis complex. Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) species are mycobacterial species other than those belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculo...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease, Japan1
To the Editor: Incidence of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease (PNTMD) is reportedly increasing globally (1,2). Although such an increase is expected in Japan (3,4), the epidemiologic situation is unclear. The most recent survey, which used the 1997 American Thoracic Society diagnostic criteria, reported that the incidence rate for PNTMD in 2007 was 5.7 cases per 100,000 personyears...
متن کاملManagement of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are increasingly recognized as causes of chronic pulmonary disease. Treatment decisions are guided by the clinical presentation, microbial isolate, and condition of the patient. Management may include antibiotic therapy, surgical resection, or observation. Definitive trials are lacking, and optimum management remains uncertain.

متن کاملNontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Diseases in Immunocompetent Patients
Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are an increasingly recognized cause of chronic lung disease in immunocompetent adults, and the M. avium complex, M. kansasii, and a rapidly growing mycobacteria such as M. abscessus, M. fortuitum, and M. chelonae account for most of the pathogens involved. Because the clinical features of NTM disease are not distinguishable from those of tuberculos...
