| [a comparative study of pulmonary disease due to mycobacterium avium and m. intracellulare identified by a newly developed dna probe (gen-probe]. | by using dna probe, cases due to m. avium complex in japan were grouped into those m. avium and m. intracellulare and their clinical patients were compared by multifactorial analysis. a total of 179 cases was studied (103 due to m. avium and 76 due to m. intracellulare). m. avium cases were found more commonly around tokyo and north, whereas m. intracellulare cases were seen more frequently in the western part of japan. background factors (sex, age, past history, complications, bacterial status, ... | 1991 | 2013966 |
