Pneumopatia causada por Mycobacterium kansasii

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃO: O Mycobacterium kansasii é uma micobactéria não tuberculosa que pode causar colonização ou infecção pulmonar. OBJETIVO: Relatar experiência com doença pulmonar causada pelo M. kansasii em uma série de seis pacientes diagnosticados ao longo de cinco anos. MÉTODO: Entre junho de 1995 e junho de 2000 foram admitidos 1.349 pacientes no Dispensário do Ipiranga Ari Nogueira da Silva-Sanatorinhos, com o diagnóstico de tuberculose pulmonar, dos quais seis tiveram cultura positiva para M. kansasii.

“…The appropriate duration of treatment is controversial: the majority of authors recommend long-term treatment, from 12 to 18 months [1]. International recommendations suggest that patients with diagnosis of Mycobacterium kansasii disease should be treated for 18 months but one year of treatment seems to be adequate [27].…”

“…The most common NTM in AIDS patients include Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacteriun intracellulare-Mycobacterium scrofulaceum complex, named as MAIS complex, and Mycobacterium kansasii. Mycobacterium kansasii caused up to 4% of all mycobacterial infections [1,2]. Definitive diagnosis of NTM disease is often difficult and must be established in order to differentiate colonization from infection.…”

“…This hypothesis is based on the fact that identification of the mycobacteria is not routine, and that the treatment regimen used for the treatment of tuberculosis contains drugs that are partially efficacious for the treatment of NTM. (8)(9) In a study carried out at the Adolfo Lutz Institute of São Paulo from 1995 to 1999, 10% of the 9381 mycobacteria identified were NTM. M. kansasii was the second most frequent (3.2%), the first being the M. avium complex.…”

“…The clinical characteristics of NTM-related pulmonary disease are in many cases very similar to those of tuberculosis. Other clinical manifestations are caused principally by M. fortuitum, M. smegmatis and M. abscessus due to peritoneal infection as a result of catheterization or postsurgical infections [27]. The above mentioned nontuberculous strains are sometimes resistant to commonly used drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide) and other antituberculous drugs [24], therefore systematic development of new effective compounds is necessary.…”
