Non-tuberculosis Mycobacterial Lung Infection from the Position of Computed Tomography (Clinical Observation)

Abstract
Mycobacterioses are caused by a large number of conditionally pathogenic mycobacteria that are widespread in the environment. The incidence of diseases caused by nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTMB) is steadily increasing due to an increase in the number of immunoscompromised patients.
The aim of the study was to analyze controversial issues encountered in the differential diagnosis of tuberculosis and non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infection.
Materials and methods. The study was performed on a 64–slice GE REVOLUTION EVO computed tomograph.
Discussion. Based on the anamnesis and the results of a microbiological study, the attending physician eventually diagnosed a non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infection and prescribed appropriate treatment.
Conclusion. Despite the fact that in most cases the radiological and clinical picture of non-tuberculosis mycobacteriosis is nonspecific, there are clinical and radiological syndromes highly specific for non-tuberculosis mycobacteriosis.
