我们使用更新的(2007 年)和先前的(1997 年)美国胸科学会/美国传染病学会 NTM 肺部疾病标准对患有呼吸道非结核分枝杆菌 (NTM) 分离株的患者进行分类。我们发现,由于疾病定义的微生物成分的敏感性提高,使用更新的标准,更大比例的此类患者患有疾病。 (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
We classified patients with respiratory nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolates using updated (2007) and previous (1997) American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America criteria for NTM lung disease. We found that a greater proportion of such patients have disease using updated criteria due to improved sensitivity of the microbiologic component of the disease definition. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
