The clinical features, course, and long-term follow-up in 45 patients withMycobacterium intracellularepulmonary infection seen at one hospital from 1956 through 1971 were reviewed. Fifty per cent of the patients were alive with inactive or quiescent disease at 2 years, and 46 per cent, at 5 years. The cumulative rate of relapse was 19.6 per cent after 5 years of treatment and observation. At 5 years, 20 per cent of the patients had died with active disease and 17 per cent had died of other causes with inactive disease. Patients who were treated surgically fared significantly better than those who were not.This study re-emphasizes the serious nature of pulmonary infections due toMycobacterium intracellulare. Once it is determined that a patient has progressive parenchymal disease caused by this organism, combined aggressive medical therapy (4 to 6 drugs) and surgical resection, when possible, would seem to be the therapy of choice.
