| [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 |
| [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 |
| secondary infections of aids autopsy cases in japan with special emphasis on mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex infection. | in order to study the frequency of secondary infections of aids autopsy cases in japan, especially the frequency of mycobacterium aviumintracellulare complex (mac) infection, retrospective autopsy study was conducted between 1986 and 1997 at the affiliated hospital of institute of medical sciences, university of tokyo. secondary infections of various organs from 43 aids autopsy cases were examined using histopathology, genetic diagnosis of tuberculosis, ziehl-neelsen stain for acid-fast bacilli ... | 2000 | 11211316 |
| epidemiologic studies of lung disease due to mycobacteria other than mycobacterium tuberculosis in japan. | the incidence of lung disease due to mycobacteria other than mycobacterium tuberculosis (atypical mycobacteria) in japan was estimated to be 0.9--1.9 per 10(5) population per year in 1971--1979. although the incidence of lung tuberculosis is steadily decreasing, the incidence of lung disease due to atypical mycobacteria has remained at almost the same level. the number of patients newly infected per year in recent years was calculated to be approximately 2,000. the ratio of the number of patient ... | 1981 | 7339832 |
| [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 |
| [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 |
