RESUMEN Presentamos una paciente inmunocompetente cuya enfermedad comenzó a los 49 años con tos, seguida de esputo purulento y hemoptoico, por lo que se diagnosticó bronquiectasias. Tres años después, luego de hemoptisis, le practicaron segmentectomía medial del lóbulo medio y quedó asintomática...
O grupo Mycobacterium abscessus (MAG) é a principal causa de infecções pulmonares e extrapulmonares entre as micobactérias de crescimento rápido. Para determinar a resistência à claritromicina (CLA), o método de concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) é realizado, no entanto, as leituras são f...
Abstract The incidence and prevalence of lung disease caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM-LD) has increased worldwide and its diagnosis represents a complex challenge. This article aims to review the tomographic findings of NTM-LD in order to facilitate their definitive diagnosis. The search for ...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species, as human pathogens, are increasing in the world, as is the difficulty of accurately identifying them. Differential diagnosis, especially between the M. tuberculosis complex and NTM species, and the characterization of NTM species is impo...
ABSTRACT Objective: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria that are widely distributed in nature and associated with opportunistic infections in humans. The aims of this study were to identify NTM in patients with suspected tuberculosis who presented positive cultures an...

Las micobacterias no tuberculosas (MNT) no solo se estudian por su importancia como patógenos oportunistas, sino también por sus aplicaciones en biotecnología y biorremediación. Nuestro objetivo fue determinar la presencia de micobacterias en los distintos hábitats acuáticos de la ciudad de General...

ABSTRACT Objective: Pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial infections are caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), the microbiological diagnosis of which involves the isolation and identification of the same species in at least two sputum samples, one BAL fluid sample, or one lung biopsy sample. The...
In recent years there has been a global increase in nontuberculous mycobacteria isolates, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis. As its clinical and radiological characteristics overlap with other infectious agents, diagnostic guidelines were generated based on evidence from patients who do not pre...
Introdução: as ceratites são infecções da córnea, que acontecem pós-trauma, cirúrgico ou não, ou em indivíduos imunossuprimidos e que podem ter como agente etiológico micobactérias não-tuberculosas (MNTs). O diagnóstico das ceratites por MNTs é feito pelos aspectos clínicos em associaçã...
