“…In the Asian continent, Staphylococcus aureus was the leading etiologic cause of non-lactating breast infections (8,84). In this review, Mycobacterium tuberculosis was responsible for the most cases, and although tuberculous mastitis was first described in the 19th century (85) and is considered a rare clinical presentation, it is estimated to occur in up to 4% of patients in endemic countries (86), suggesting the persistence of tuberculosis in the Americas as a public health problem, and since many articles conducted in the Americas focus on tuberculous or granulomatous mastitis (6,12,87), it is not surprising that M. tuberculosis figures as an important cause of NLIM. Other nontuberculous mycobacteria may also cause NLIM, as previously reported in India and England (88,89).…”
