The clinical presentation of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection of the lungs is usually nonspecific and varies to some extent depending on the microorganism and underlying conditions.

avium complex (MAC) disease commonly presents with a productive cough, and about 20% of patients have hemoptysis. Fever is present in only about one. Mycobacterial disease is known to have affected humans for more than a century and still it continues to be a global health concern.

There are several challenges as far as TB is concerned. To list a few, TB stands as the most common opportunistic infection in HIV-positive patients in many developing countries.

Griffith. The outcome of the respiratory NTM disease is a consequence of a complex interplay between microbial factors and host susceptibility. Furthermore, HIV infection, cystic fibrosis, cancer, underlying chronic lung disease and history of tuberculosis (TB) may be associated as risk factors for active nontuberculosis pulmonary diseases (NTMPD).

The first suggestion about a connection between Johne's disease, a chronic mycobacterial enteritis in cattle, and Crohn' s disease occurred inwhen Dalziel described enteritis in humans which, although resembling intestinal tuberculosis, he believed to be a new : Springer Netherlands.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic bacterial disease infecting the lungs, kidneys, spine and/or brain. TB is an airborne mycobacterium that can be spread from person to person, such as when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

It can also cause an infection after a period of latency in a person who was infected at an earlier time.The risk for development of TB or nontuberculous mycobacterial disease was fold and fold higher among RA patients than among the general population, respectively.This book is the third volume in a three-volume series that presents a comprehensive review by several authors of many aspects related to the genus Mycobacteria.

The first two volumes concerned the more basic aspects of taxonomy, physiology, ecology, nutrition, and identification of this important group of bacteria. The third volume reviews in detail the important clinical aspects of Author: John E. Kasik.
