Background: Although infection following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is rare, these cases have potentially catastrophic ramifications. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous, located in the water supply and soil. Our objective was to review the literature to characterize NTM infection following ACL

Skin and soft tissue infection by Mycobacterium intracellulare in an immunocompetent patient
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections still represent a large group of insidious diseases hard to deal with. Traditionally, immunocompromised patients suffer from NTM infections, especially with respiratory involvement or disseminated diseases due

Nontuberculous Mycobacterium infection complicated with Haemophagocytic syndrome: a case report and literature review [PDF]
Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection is usually observed in patients with immunosuppressive conditions. It may also cause unregulated immune responses. While there have been increasing numbers of reported tuberculosis-related HPS (haemophagocytic syndrome), HPS caused by NTM infection is still very rarely reported.We report a previously ...

An immunocompromised dialysis patient with skin and bone lesions [PDF]
Patients with chronic kidney failure have disturbances of immune function involving both innate and adaptive systems. These result in both immunodepression which increases susceptibility to infection and immunoactivation leading to a chronic inflammatory

Culture-independent detection of nontuberculous mycobacteria in clinical respiratory samples [PDF]
Culture-based detection of nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) in respiratory samples is time consuming and can be subject to overgrowth by nonmycobacterial bacteria.

Infections due to Mycobacterium leprae and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
Mycobacterium leprae infection (i.e., leprosy) is a disease that has been recognized—and often misunderstood—since ancient times. The emergence of HIV/AIDS and the development of newer culture methodologies and molecular diagnostic tools have brought about increased interest in the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of human infections from ...

Abstract Background A mixed pulmonary infection of Mycobacterium bacteremicum and three different isolates of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is an unusual clinical manifestation and have not yet been indicated. In this case report, we reported four isolates of NTM using phenotypic and genotypic test of pulmonary ...
