| geographic distribution, frequency, and specimen source of mycobacterium avium complex serotypes isolated from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. | isolates of mycobacterium avium complex from 727 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) were submitted by medical centers across the united states to the centers for disease control for serotyping. we were able to type 630 (87%) of these isolates by our seroagglutination procedure. almost all typeable isolates were m. avium (serotypes 1 to 6 and 8 to 11). blood was the major specimen source for both m. avium and the nontypeable isolates. m. intracellulare serotypes made up only ... | 1990 | 2351735 |
| mycobacterium avium-m. intracellulare isolates from patients with or without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. | susceptibility testing and serotyping were performed on 57 isolates of mycobacterium avium-m. intracellulare from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) and 75 isolates from patients without aids. susceptibility patterns and serotypes of aids isolates were significantly different from those of non-aids isolates. these results may partially explain the poor therapeutic response of m. avium-m. intracellulare infections in aids patients. | 1986 | 3813519 |
| mycobacterium avium-intracellulare: a cause of disseminated life-threatening infection in homosexuals and drug abusers. | five men developed disseminated infection with mycobacterium avium-intracellulare. these patients all lived in the new york city area and presented with their illnesses between january 1981 and september 1981; four were homosexual and one was an intravenous drug abuser. four patients died. all five patients had defects in the cell-mediated immune response. the infections were characterized histopathologically by poor or absent granulomatous tissue reaction. clinical isolates of m. avium-intracel ... | 1982 | 6289714 |
| an overview of mycobacterium avium-intracellulare. | | 1984 | 6589506 |
| opportunistic infection in previously healthy women. initial manifestations of a community-acquired cellular immunodeficiency. | opportunistic infections and unusual tumors have been reported in an unprecedented outbreak of community-acquired cellular immune deficiency among homosexual and drug-abusing men. we report five women with the same syndrome. the women were residents of metropolitan new york city closely associated with drug abuse either by personal use (our patients) or close sexual contact with an abuser (one patient). one patient was bisexual. all five patients developed pneumocystis carinii pneumonia as well ... | 1982 | 6982014 |
| [plurifocal alveolar pneumonia in a patient with aids: disseminated mycobacterium avium intracellulare infection with difficult diagnosis]. | in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids), manifestations of generalized mycobacterium avium intracellulare infection are non-specific and pneumopathy is rarely encountered. we report a case of a patient with aids who had clinical and radiological manifestations of multifocal alveolar pneumopathy which was found on autopsy to be due to disseminated mycobacterium avium intracellulare. | 1994 | 7724972 |
| farm factors associated with the presence of mycobacterium paratuberculosis infection in dairy herds on the new york state paratuberculosis control program. | an extensive questionnaire was developed and used to collect data from 33 herds that were on the new york state paratuberculosis control program, to study farm factors associated with the presence of mycobacterium paratuberculosis infection in dairy herds. the results of the last whole herd paratuberculosis fecal culture were used to indicate presence of infection in a herd, with herds having one or more animals positive classified as 'infected'. the average prevalence within herds was 5.2%. fou ... | 1997 | 9443331 |
| first isolation of trichophyton fischeri in the united states. | a 49-year-old male with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia was seen at bellevue hospital in new york, n.y. sputum samples yielded cultures of candida lusitaniae, mycobacterium avium, and a filamentous fungus, trichophyton fischeri. t. fischeri is a nonpathogenic fungus which resembles the dermatophyte trichophyton rubrum. this is the first record of the species from u.s. sources. this case exemplifies the ecological differences between t. fischeri and t. rubrum and illustrates how correct identifica ... | 1998 | 9774603 |
| on the development of mycobacterial infections. i. a review concerning the common situation. | in this review concerning the common situation of mycobacterial infections the following problems are discussed: (1) the worldwide epidemiological situation of tuberculosis reveals an increase in the developing countries but even in some industrialized countries like the united states. the reasons for this development are mainly socioeconomic factors. (2) the association between tuberculosis and hiv infection has caused in general a marked increase in the incidence of tuberculosis in some countr ... | 1995 | 9810641 |
| prophylaxis for opportunistic infections among hiv-infected patients receiving medical care. | in 1995 and 1997, the united states public health service (usphs) and the infectious disease society of america (idsa) published recommendations for primary prophylaxis of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (pcp), mycobacterium avium complex (mac), and toxoplasmosis in hiv-infected adults. we evaluated their implementation at four hospital-based hiv clinics in new york city in patients who initially met the cd4+ criterion for prophylaxis between january, 1995 and april, 1997. medical records were re ... | 1998 | 9833748 |
| bronchoscopy-related infections and pseudoinfections--new york, 1996 and 1998. | bronchoscopy is a useful diagnostic technique that can be performed safely by trained specialists when the bronchoscopes in both inpatient and ambulatory-care settings are reprocessed properly to prevent transmission of infection. the new york state department of health received reports of three clusters of culture-positive bronchoscopy specimens obtained in 1996 and 1998 from patients at local health-care facilities. this report summarizes the results of investigations of these clusters, which ... | 1999 | 10418804 |
| adherence to guidelines for antiretroviral therapy and for preventing opportunistic infections in hiv-infected adults and adolescents in ryan white-funded facilities in the united states. | to determine adherence by health care providers to guidelines for antiretroviral therapy and for prevention of opportunistic infections (ois) in adults with hiv infection in federally funded facilities in the united states, we reviewed records of hiv-infected adults (>13 years) in 11 ryan white title iii facilities in four states for information on eight standard-of-care recommendations during november 1996 through september 1997. eligibility required a visit to the facility within 6 months befo ... | 1999 | 10421247 |
| physician's aggressive preventive therapy differs. | dr. bernard bihari, an aids specialist practicing in new york city, and other members of the community programs for clinical research on aids (cpcra), have determined that some of the public health services's recommendations for preventing opportunistic infections do not match the standards of care that the cpcra developed nearly five years ago. the basic treatments provided by bihari include using 1) tmp-smz and fluconazole to prevent, respectively, pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (pcp) and cryp ... | 1995 | 11362774 |
| cow-level evaluation of a kinetics elisa with multiple cutoff values to detect fecal shedding of mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis in new york state dairy cows. | in control programs for mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (map), the infection status of the cows in a herd is often obtained by testing (a sample of) the herd with an elisa that may lack some sensitivity and specificity but that is fast and inexpensive. in new york state (nys), an unabsorbed kinetics elisa (kela) has been used extensively for map control. the objective of this study was to determine the relative sensitivity and specificity of the kela for detection of fecal shedding o ... | 2005 | 16169619 |
| a whole genome association analysis identifies loci associated with mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection status in us holstein cattle. | the purpose of this study was to identify loci associated with mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (map) infection status in us holsteins using the illumina bovinesnp50 beadchip whole genome single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) assay. two hundred forty-five cows from dairies in new york, pennsylvania and vermont enrolled in longitudinal herd studies between january 1999 and november 2007 were assessed for the presence of map in both faecal and tissue samples. an animal was considered ... | 2009 | 19422364 |
| correlation between herrold egg yolk medium culture and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction results for mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis in pooled fecal and environmental samples. | real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qpcr) testing for mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (map) in fecal samples is a rapid alternative to culture on herrold egg yolk medium (heym), the traditional antemortem reference test for map. although the sensitivity and specificity of these 2 tests have been estimated based on dichotomized test results, the correlation between real-time qpcr threshold cycle (ct) values and colony-forming units (cfu) on heym for fresh and thawed ... | 2010 | 20807920 |
| environmental contamination with mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in endemically infected dairy herds. | environmental contamination with mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (map) is thought to be one of the primary sources of infection for dairy cattle. the exact link between fecal shedding of map by individual cows and environmental contamination levels at the herd level was explored with a cross-sectional analysis of longitudinally collected samples on 3 dairy farms. composite samples from multiple environmental sites in 3 commercial dairy herds in the northeast us were cultured quarterl ... | 2011 | 21775002 |
| implications of pcr and elisa results on the routes of bulk-tank contamination with mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis. | mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (map), the etiologic agent of johne's disease in dairy cattle, may enter the bulk tank via environmental contamination or direct excretion into milk. traditionally, diagnostics to identify map in milk target either map antibodies (by elisa) or the organism itself (by culture or pcr). high elisa titers may be directly associated with excretion of map into milk but only indirectly linked to environmental contamination of the bulk tank. patterns of bulk-mil ... | 2016 | 26686723 |
| producer survey of bird-livestock interactions in commercial dairies. | the objective of this producer survey was to identify and estimate damage caused by bird-livestock interactions in commercial dairies. the interactions between birds and livestock have previously been implicated in causing economic damage while contributing to the environmental dissemination of microorganisms pathogenic to livestock and humans. very little research exists to help producers understand what bird species use dairies, why they use dairies, or the scope and nature of damage created a ... | 2012 | 22981584 |
