Pulmonary disease associated with mycobacteria other than tubercle bacilli in miners. 1977

E E Nel, and W S Linton, and W Van Der Merwe, and S D Berson, and H H Kleeberg

Five patients with lung disease caused by mycobacteria other than tubercle (MOTT) bacilli are described. Mycobacterium kansasii was the causative organism in 4 patients and M. scrofulaceum in 1 patient. The species were repeatedly isolated from sputum specimens cultured on Löwenstein-Jensen medium. The clinical features, mycobacterial isolations, bacteriological properties of the pathogens and the therapeutic problems encountered are discussed.
