Vertebral osteomyelitis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2004
Vertebral osteomyelitis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria is a rare disease, with only 31 cases and one nosocomial outbreak reported in the literature (MedLine review between 1965 and December 2003). The clinical features are often indistinguishable from those of pyogenic osteomyelitis.

z‐VAD‐FMK triggers macrophage necroptosis during mycobacterial infection via a non‐canonical off‐target mechanism

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Macrophages are the predominant cell type infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in tuberculosis (TB). Death of Mtb‐infected macrophages promotes tissue pathology and releases Mtb to infect other cells, suggesting that inhibiting the death of Mtb‐infected macrophages could be an adjunctive treatment of TB.

Meningoencephalitis associated with non-tuberculous mycobacteria

BMJ Case Reports, 2009
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are fastidious, difficult organisms to identify, but are increasingly associated with human disease. We report a case of meningoencephalitis associated withMycobacterium malmoenseandMycobacterium interjectumco-isolation from cerebrospinal fluid.

Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198—A Promising Strain for Studying Pathogenesis of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM‐PD)

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium‐intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC‐PD) in whom surgical operation was required to ...

The Incidence of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria in Infants in Kenya

Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2019
There is inadequate understanding of the epidemiology of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) among infants in high tuberculosis burden countries. The objective of this study was to document the incidence and diversity of NTM disease or colonisation in sputum specimens from infants with presumptive TB, the risk factors, and clinical characteristics, in a

Assessment of the N-PCR assay in diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis: detection of M. tuberculosis in pleural fluid and sputum collected in tandem. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
The nonspecific clinical presentation and paucibacillary nature of tuberculous pleuritis remains a challenge for diagnosis. Diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion depends on the demonstration of the presence of tubercle bacilli in the sputum, pleural ...

Epidemiology and laboratory detection of non-tuberculous mycobacteria. [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
The global incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections is on the rise. This study systematically searched several databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and two Chinese libraries (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang) to identify relevant published between 2013 and 2023 related to the isolation of ...

The Paediatric BCG Vaccine Century: From Historical Success to Future Innovations

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, Bacille‐Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), protects infants against severe forms of primary TB. Yet, it does not protect against pulmonary reactivation TB in adults. Methods A literature review was conducted between 1st January and 28th February 2025 using PubMed, Google Scholar and reports of the World Health ...
