| [studies on epidemiology of nontuberculous mycobacteriosis--on the regional difference of the incidence of pulmonary diseases due to m. kansasii and m. avium complex in tokyo area]. | on 397 patients with pulmonary disease due to nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntm) [102 due to m. kansasii (mk) and 295 due to m. avium complex (mac)] observed at national tokyo chest hospital, 191 patients with pulmonary disease (59 due to mk and 132 due to mac) observed at fukujuji hospital of antituberculosis association and 257 patients from whose sputum mk (36) or mac (221) were isolated in byotai-seiri clinical laboratory, the distribution of these patients by domicile in tokyo area was analy ... | 1991 | 1960915 |
| [treatment of non-tuberculous pulmonary mycobacteriosis]. | the non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis (ntm) is not a unitary disease. it is a general term for the bronchopulmonary diseases caused by any mycobacterium other than m. tuberculosis. we don't call the pulmonary "pseudomoniosis" for the diffuse bronchiectasis caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa, though conditions of the disease looks like ntm. the name of ntm represents that the causativebacteria belong to the same species with m. tuberculosis which causes serious pulmonary infectious disease. the pulmo ... | 2006 | 16479999 |
| [present status of studies on epidemiology and molecular epidemiology of mycobacterium kansasii, in special reference to its epidemiology]. | mycobacterium kansasii, a slow-growing photochromogen, causes serious pulmonary diseases in humans. since the 1980s the isolation rate of m. kansasii has been surpassed by that of mycobacterium avium complex (mac). pulmonary disease caused by m. kansasii is known to be more common in urban areas than in rural areas, and its changing epidemiologic features and geographical distribution have been known for several decades. the disease had been found almost only in and around tokyo areas until the ... | 2011 | 21735859 |
