Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Infections Associated With Heater-Cooler Devices. [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2017
Disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterium infections have occurred following surgical procedures involving extracorporeal circulation; contaminated water from heater-cooler devices (HCDs) has been implicated as the source. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the public health concern and to educate physicians who care for this patient population.

T-Cell Exhaustion in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infection: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Perspectives

Microorganisms, 2021
Immune exhaustion is a condition associated with chronic infections and cancers, characterized by the inability of antigen-specific T cells to eliminate the cognate antigen. Exhausted T cells display a peculiar phenotypic profile and exclusive functional

Distribution and epidemiological characteristics of nontuberculous mycobacterium species in jianghan plain. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) disease is an increasing public health concern in China. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of pulmonary NTM disease in the Jianghan Plain region of Central China. From 2021 to 2023, we collected specimens with positive mycobacterial cultures from the Jianghan Plain and identified species using ...
