Among the 2650 NTM isolates, 1225 (46.2%) were from 412 patients with clinically significant diseases. The annual incidence (per 100000 patients) of disease caused by NTM was 8.96 in 1997, 21.53 in 2002, and 16.55 in 2003. The major types of infections caused by NTM included isolated pulmonary infection and pleurisy (59.5%), skin/soft-tissue infections and osteomyelitis (13.8%), and disseminated diseases (13.3%) . The two most common groups of organisms involved were rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) (41.4%) and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) (39%). The most common organism involved in isolated pulmonary infection and pleurisy was MAC (44.1%). RGM predominated in keratitis (94%), skin/soft- tissue infections and osteomyelitis (43.9%), and lymphadenitis (66.7%). This retrospective 7-year study demonstrated an increase in the incidence of NTM disease in a university hospital. |
