Hawaiian Volcanic Ash, an Airborne Fomite for Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

GeoHealth, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmentally acquired opportunistic pathogens that can cause chronic lung disease. Within the U.S., Hawai'i shows the highest prevalence rates of NTM lung infections. Here, we investigated a potential role for active volcanism at the Kīlauea Volcano located on Hawai'i Island in promoting NTM growth and ...

Mycobacterium chelonae Conjunctivitis and Scleritis Following Vitrectomy [PDF]

Archives of Ophthalmology, 2000
The atypical, or nontuberculous, mycobacteria are opportunistic pathogens that usually cause infection following accidental trauma or surgery. These organisms are ubiquitous in nature but have been found with increasing frequency in other environments that include medical offices and surgical suites.

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: Challenges of a Complex Disease

Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a complex interstitial lung disease caused by chronic inhalation of a wide variety of antigens in susceptible and sensitized individuals, commonly associated with an occupational exposure. An impressive number of inciting antigens causing hypersensitivity pneumonitis have been found to cover a wide range of ...

Disseminated CutaneousMycobacterium ChelonaeInfection

Cancer Control, 2000
Over the last two decades, a rising proportion of mycobacterial infections have been caused by nontuberculous species such as Mycobacterium chelonae.1-3 Belonging to the M. fortuitum complex,4 M. chelonae is an acidfast bacillus (AFB) that grows rapidly compared with the more common M. tuberculosis.
