1. Nontuberculous mycobacterial infection in a tertiary care center in Mexico, 2001-2017
ABSTRACT Introduction: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) comprise several pathogens with a complex profile of virulence, diverse epidemiological and clinical patterns as well as host specificity. Recently, an increase in the number of NTM infections has been observed; therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and ou

2. Characteristic profile of antibody responses to PPD, ESAT-6, and CFP-10 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pulmonary tuberculosis suspected cases in Surabaya, Indonesia
Abstract Accurate and rapid diagnostic tools are important aspects of managing tuberculosis (TB) cases appropriately. However, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic kits based on immune response such as the tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) are still debated. Thus, the exploration and assessment of specific biomarke

3. Doença pulmonar por micobactérias não tuberculosas em uma região de alta incidência de tuberculose no Brasil
RESUMO Objetivo: A incidência de doença pulmonar causada por micobactérias não tuberculosas (MNT) tem aumentado em todo o mundo. No Brasil, há poucos estudos sobre doença pulmonar por MNT, e sua prevalência ainda não é conhecida. Nosso objetivo foi determinar a etiologia específica da doença no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, bem como a frequência

4. Complications of chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis: review of published case reports
ABSTRACT Chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis (CNPA), a form of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), affects immunocompetent or mildly immunocompromised persons with underlying pulmonary disease. These conditions are associated with high morbidity and mortality and often require long-term antifungal treatment. The long-term prognosis for patients wi

5. Trends in overall opportunistic illnesses, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cerebral toxoplasmosis andMycobacterium avium complex incidence rates over the 30 years of the HIV epidemic: a systematic review
BACKGROUND: The natural history of HIV infection has changed dramatically after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Currently, opportunistic illnesses still represent a major cause of death and hospitalization in this population. In this study, we review the trends in opportunistic illnesses incidence rates and compare the results obse

6. Incidence of tuberculous and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, differentiated by multiplex PCR, in clinical specimens of a large general hospital
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and non-tuberculous mycobacterial isolates in the routine setting of a large general hospital using an "in-house" multiplex polymerase chain reaction method and to establish a paradigm for the definitive identification of mycobacteria isolated using semi-automated equipment. METHODS:

8. Síndrome inflamatória da reconstituição imunológica
Os esquemas de drogas antirretrovirais reduzem a letalidade e a morbidez da infecção pelo HIV, modificando o curso clínico das doenças oportunistas e das auto-imunes. Todavia, entre 10 e 25% dos doentes, a restauração do sistema imune provoca intensa reação contra as infecções co-existentes, causando manifestações atípicas por agentes oportunist

9. Micobacteriose disseminada em pacientes infectados pelo HIV: características clínicas de apresentação e análise de mortalidade
Base teórica: A prevalência da infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) em 2007 foi de 32 milhões de pacientes infectados. Das infecções oportunistas as micobactérias estão entre as principais causas de febre em pacientes com síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (SIDA), apesar de que o uso da terapia anti-retroviral de alta potênc

10. Soft tissue abscess and lymphadenitis due to Mycobacterium avium Complex as an expression of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome after a second scheme of highly active antiretroviral therapy
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is an atypical and unexpected reaction related to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients. IRIS includes an atypical response to an opportunistic pathogen (generally Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, cytomegalovirus and herpe

11. Hematological and hemostatic alterations induced by clofazimine and clarithromycin in rats / Alterações hematológicas e hemostáticas induzidas pela clofazimina e claritromicina em ratos
Clarithromycin and clofazimine have been used to treat leprosy and tuberculosis as well as infections of Mycobacterium avium complex, an ordinary complication in patients who are in advanced stage of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). As the data about the toxicity of therapeutic schemes including those drugs are scarce, this research had the aim to

12. Infection with the Mycobacterium avium complex in patients without predisposing conditons: a case report and literature review
Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), especially Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC), has been considered responsible for human disease, especially in HIV patients. Nevertheless, it has been diagnosed in immunocompetent elderly men, frequently with previous pulmonary disease: chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), complications of tuberculosis, p
