During the study period, a total of 312 patients with NTM pulmonary infection were identified. Most patients with NTM pulmonary infection had preexisting pulmonary diseases or malignancies. The incidence (per 100,000 inpatients and outpatients) of patients with NTM isolations (6.67 in 2005 and 9.28 in 2008, P < .0001) from respiratory specimens and the incidence of patients with NTM pulmonary infection (3.54 in 2005 and 4.45 in 2008, P < .0141) increased significantly annually. The most common pathogens in patients with NTM-associated pulmonary infections were Mycobacterium avium complex (n = 110, 35.3%), followed by M. abscessus (n = 66, 21.2%). Incidence (per 100,000 inpatients and outpatients) of patients with pulmonary infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) also increased significantly (1.06 in 2005 and 2.00 in 2008, P = .008). In conclusion, RGM, especially M. abscessus, had an increasingly important role in NTM pulmonary infections. ? 2012 Elsevier Inc. |
