Epidemiology and Clinical Significance of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Patients Negative for Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Switzerland [PDF]
Over the last decades, the rate of isolation of tubercle bacilli has declined in the developed countries, while the incidence of infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) has increased.

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

A comprehensive and schematic illustration of the study's methods and materials. ABSTRACT Background Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental pathogens that can cause pulmonary infections, especially among the immunocompromised population. There is limited research on healthcare professionals' knowledge of NTM infections in Ethiopia.

Risk factors for atypical mycobacterial disease in patients with smear positive pulmonary TB [PDF]
Non Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) can cause severe infection in selected groups of patients and is very difficult to be differentiated from TB infection clinically or radiologically leading to miss diagnosis and wrong treatment in these cases, the Aim ...
