Abstract

The incidence and clinical characteristics of NTM diseases in Brazil remain relatively unknown. The present study describes the diagnosis of NTM isolates, the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes. We analyzed NTM isolates in patients of a tertiary hospital in the Southeast region of Brazil, from January 2008 to July 2019. The ATS/IDSA criteria for diagnosis and treatment of these patients was applied. Mycobacterium kansasii were identified in 13/113 (11.5%) patients. In 59/113 (52.2%) patients who met the ATS criteria for disease, 29/59 (49.1%) received treatment, and 22/29 (75.8%) were cured. The major species identified was M. kansasii. The most frequent symptoms among the treated patients were dyspnea and cough, and the proportion of cured patients was high.

一家专科医院病人中的非结核分枝杆菌。

巴西非淋菌性肺结核疾病的发病率和临床特征仍相对未知。本研究描述了NTM分离株的诊断、临床表现和治疗结果。我们分析了 2008 年 1 月至 2019 年 7 月期间巴西东南部地区一家三甲医院患者的 NTM 分离物。对这些患者的诊断和治疗采用了 ATS/IDSA 标准。在 13/113 例（11.5%）患者中发现了堪萨斯分枝杆菌。在符合 ATS 疾病标准的 59/113 例（52.2%）患者中，29/59 例（49.1%）接受了治疗，22/29 例（75.8%）治愈。鉴定出的主要菌种是堪萨斯霉菌。在接受治疗的患者中，最常见的症状是呼吸困难和咳嗽，治愈患者的比例很高。
