Pulmonary Disease Caused by Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) include more than 160 ubiquitous, environmental, acid-fast-staining bacterial species, some of which may cause disease in humans. Chronic pulmonary infection is the most common clinical manifestation. Although patients suffering from chronic lung diseases are particularly susceptible to NTM pulmonary disease, many affected patients have no apparent risk factor...

متن کاملPulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacteria in a general respiratory population.
The prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) appears to be increasing. Much of the experience in the literature about this emerging organism comes from specialised units or populations such as cystic fibrosis patients. We, therefore, aim to evaluate the experience in a general respiratory population of dealing with patients with positive culture of NTM. We did a retrospective review of...
متن کاملMicrobiological criteria in non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease: a tool for diagnosis and epidemiology.
SETTING The value of microbiological criteria in diagnosing non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) and monitoring its epidemiology is unknown. OBJECTIVES To correlate the rate of NTM-PD based on microbiological criteria (American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America [ATS/IDSA] or stricter microbiological criteria) compared with the full ATS/IDSA criteria, t...
