  • Title: [Pulmonary infection caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria in two patients with bronchiectasis].
    Author: Daniels JM, Haitjema T, van Altena R, van den Aardweg JG, Vlaspolder F, Boersma WG.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2005 Apr 30; 149(18):961-5. PubMed ID: 15903035.
    Abstract:
    Two patients, a woman aged 67 years and a man aged 80 years, had chronic cough among other respiratory symptoms. In the woman, chest radiograph and CT-scan revealed partial atelectasis of the middle lobe and bronchiectasis. In the man, an interstitial pattern was seen on chest radiograph, and CT scan showed diffuse bronchiectasis. In both the man and the woman, non-tuberculous mycobacteria were identified (Mycobacterium avium complex and Mycobacterium abscessus, respectively). Treatment was successful in both patients. Non-tuberculous mycobacteria can cause considerable pulmonary infection in patients with bronchiectasis.
