2 Overview Review f NTM Case 1 Case 2

3 Nn-Tuberculus Mycbacteria Ubiquitus rganisms Fund in sil and water Need t crrelate with clinical picture Opprtunistic infectin Mst patients are immune cmprmised r have preexisting damage Prevalence increasing wrldwide Adjemian et al and CDC Advances in diagnstic technlgy and enhanced cntrl f Tuberculsis has made it clear that ther mycbacteria can cause similar disease

4 Clinical Syndrmes Prgressive pulmnary disease Lymphadenitis Disseminated disease Skin and sft tissue infectins

5 Nn-Tuberculus Mycbacteria Over 125 different species ~40% dcumented t cause disease in humans Park, Chul Min, et al. Kr J Lab Med. 2006

6 Runyn Classificatin Phtchrmgens M. marinum Sctchrmgens M. grdnae Nn-chrmgens M. avium cmplex Rapid grwers (5-7 days) M. frtuitum M. chelnae M. abscessus

7 Case 1 Recalcitrant

8 Patient Histry 52 year ld man presents after a few mnths f prductive cugh and a 40 lb unintentinal weight lss. Asthma and a 2.5 pack/day smking histry. Smked since he was 14 and bth parents died f lung cancer. N significant travel histry, animal expsure, r sick cntacts. N histry f sterids use r ther immune suppressants Otherwise healthy man with remte medical histry f a knee surgery and back surgery mre than 10 years prir.

9 On presentatin Patient feels he is drwning in phlegm Bld seen in sputum n several ccasins Des nt imprve n rutine antibitics Cavitary lesin seen n X- ray Despite a lack f expsure histry he is presumed t have Tb

10 1-3 mnths since presentatin He is started n RIPE therapy Rifampin Isniazid Pyrazinamide Ethambutl Quantifern Gld rdered and sputum cultures sent Quantifern Gld negative Sputum smear psitive fr AFB PCR negative fr Tuberculsis RIPE therapy stpped Sputum culture eventually identifies Mycbacterium szulgai RIPE therapy restarted Referred t UW Hspital fr management

11 Mycbacterium szulgai Dark Light Unusual cause f disease Very rarely islated frm envirnmental surces Nearly always clinically relevant First described in 1972 by Marks and Jenkins and named after Dr. Szulga wh develped the lipid identificatin methd that helped t describe this pathgen. Clnies are slw grwing days Sctchrmgen at 37 C and phtchrmgen at 25 C Only Mycbacteria t d this Des nt grw at 42 C Phtchrmgen at 25 C Dark Light Sctchrmgen at 37 C Margie Mrgan.
